        As the saying goes, women more years to meditation. Actually, menopausal women do care, heart is more important to prevent heart disease. A large number of clinical data prove that, before the age of 40, cardiovascular disease incidence of male was obviously higher than that of women, and women after menopause, can significantly increase their risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

        From the physiological point of view, before menopause, high levels of estrogen in women can improving the elasticity of the blood vessels, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, make the hardening of the blood vessels are less congestion. And after menopause, oestrogen in the body are greatly reduced, the cardiovascular lack of resilience buffer, so the incidence of cardiovascular disease has risen sharply. Blood vessels are fragile and vulnerable women, fast hardening of the arteries, poor repair function, all of these may be the cause of the women are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease.

        Women after cardiac symptoms, often to the hospital later than men, especially after menopause, a lot of people put some may be symptoms of heart disease, such as chest pain, walking, asthma, heart palpitations and other symptoms, as is the inevitable phenomenon of menopause, and ignore the alarm may be heart. Research shows that women are sometimes not only don't understand themselves, doctors sometimes also feel to them. Some women will often complain of chest tightness, and actually are caused by psychological factors; But also some women have a heart problem, i.e., endure to endure, often drag didn't go to see a doctor when ill.

        From sociological perspective, menopausal women in work transformation, family status, role transformation is faced with new challenges. At work, women before and after the age of 50 or in politics, work, business circle, and other areas of the society the important responsibility, working pressure is bigger; Or have already pulled open the prelude to quit work, back home.

        So, in this special period, women should pay special attention to maintain the good life habit. If often appear extreme fatigue, unable to complete daily work, the symptom such as dizziness, nausea, and heart palpitations, want to go to the hospital make a diagnosis and give treatment in time.
