Cardiovascular Effects of Aging

As individuals age, significant changes occur in the cardiovascular system, impacting overall heart health and function. Arterial stiffness increases with age due to changes in the extracellular matrix and loss of elastic fibers, leading to higher blood pressure and increased cardiac workload. Left ventricular hypertrophy and reduced diastolic function are common, contributing to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Atherosclerosis progresses, causing plaque buildup in arteries and increasing the risk of coronary artery disease and stroke. Cardiac conduction system alterations may result in arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation. Aging also affects the heart’s ability to adapt to stress, reducing exercise capacity and increasing vulnerability to cardiovascular events. Lifestyle modifications, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and management of comorbid conditions, are essential to mitigate these age-related changes and promote cardiovascular health in older adults.
