What is the clinical evidence from this study?

Study design: Review. Population: Healthy older humans. Intervention: Older age. Primary outcome: Mean cardiac index.

What does this research mean for the field?

In healthy individuals over 60 years of age, the normal resting cardiac index is between 2.1 and 3.2 L/min/m2 with an annual decline of 3.5 to 8 mL/min/m2, which is lower than previously recognized reference values.

Key result

Healthy adults over 60 show a progressive annual decline in resting cardiac index.

Why the study?

The normal resting values for the cardiac index in older patients remain unclear despite the growing number of older patients undergoing major surgery.

Discussion

Implication

Updates reference ranges for cardiac index in healthy adults >60; leaves open whether lower values warrant revised clinical thresholds.

Structured PICO

Population

29 studies reporting measured values of cardiac output or cardiac index in healthy humans over 60 years of age at rest.

Outcome

Measured values of cardiac output or cardiac index at restsurrogate

The normal resting cardiac index in healthy individuals over 60 years of age ranges from 2.1 to 3.2 L/min/m2, which may be lower than previously reported.

Limitations

Data on the normal cardiac index in people older than 80 years are scant.

Cioccari et al. (2019) conducted a review in Healthy older humans. Older age was evaluated on Mean cardiac index. In healthy volunteers over 60 years of age, the mean cardiac index was between 2.1 and 3.2 L/min/m2, with a likely yearly decline between 3.5 and 8 mL/min/m2.
