Cardiovascular Health As We Age
- 1
Heart disease: It is one of the leading causes of death among seniors. As the arteries harden and become less flexible, it becomes difficult for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.
- 2
Stroke: The risk of developing a stroke increases with age due to factors such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.
- 3
Peripheral artery disease (PAD): PAD is a condition where the arteries in the legs and feet become narrow, leading to decreased blood flow. This can cause leg pain and increase the risk of infection.
- 4
Heart failure: As the heart weakens with age, it becomes difficult for it to pump blood, leading to heart failure.
