Considering the importance of histological studies for the analysis of myocardial cell morphology and the effects produced by this muscle exercise in postmenopausal women, a literature review was carried out to analyze selected articles in PubMed, Medline, SciELO and Science Direct. 2001-2011 databases and to identify the study design relating to morphological infarction, exercise and menopause published over the last 10 years. Materials and Methods: After the selection according to the proposed inclusion criteria, the journals and articles were analyzed regarding the title, year of publication, country of origin, type of methodology, type of authorship and research subjects. Results: We found thirty-four articles related to myocardium, menopause and exercise from 2001-2011. In two of them the myocardium morphologically was evaluated, and in one of them there was a morphological and stereological cardiac muscle analysis. Conclusion: The main characteristics of the publications are: multiple authorship, publications in journals from different areas, literature review and experimental study as methodology, and all studies showed quantitative data analysis.
