Abstract Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide and its incidence is gradually increasing among postmenopausal women. Post-menopausal women, and more than five years (menopause) shows the risk of independent cardiovascular disease. Aim: This study is expected to be able to show the relationship of cardiovascular disease with the severity of menopausal symptoms assessed by the Menopause Rating Scale at H Adam Malik Hospital, Medan. Methods: Observational analytic study with cross sectional design was conducted on 38 menopausal women with cardiovascular disease and experiencing menopausal symptoms in the Heart Polyclinic of RSUP H Adam Malik who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The characteristics of the study sample were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as chi square. To assess the relationship, a normality test is carried out first. If data normally distributed, statistical analytic used Mann Whitney test. Results: It appears that 50% of menopausal patients with heart disease have hypertensive heart disease, followed by 30% with coronary heart disease and 20% with heart failure. The incidence of coronary heart disease with a score of menopause rating scale did not have a significant relationship with p value 0.694 (p> 0.05) and there was also no significant relationship between menopause assessed by menopause rating scale with heart failure with p value 0.082 (p < 0.05). However, the value of menopause rating scale in menopausal women is associated with the incidence of hypertensive heart disease with a p value of 0.035 (p <0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between the value of menopause rating scale with coronary heart disease and heart failure. However, it was found a significant relationship between the value of menopause rating scale in menopausal women associated with the incidence of hypertension heart disease (p <0.05)
