Aging and Cardiovascular Disease

Aging is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), as the heart and blood vessels undergo structural and functional changes over time. As people age, blood vessels lose elasticity, becoming stiffer and less able to expand and contract with blood flow. This increases the workload on the heart, contributing to high blood pressure and an elevated risk of heart failure. Additionally, the accumulation of plaque in the arteries (atherosclerosis) can restrict blood flow, leading to coronary artery disease, strokes, and peripheral artery disease.

The aging process also affects the heart’s electrical system, increasing the risk of arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation. Other age-related factors, like reduced physical activity, poor diet, and the development of conditions like diabetes, further exacerbate cardiovascular risk.

Preventing or managing cardiovascular disease in older adults involves regular monitoring, lifestyle changes such as exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and appropriate medical treatments to control blood pressure, cholesterol, and other risk factors.
