Key result
Aging is linked to widespread structural, functional, and electrical changes across the cardiovascular system.
Why the study?
The ageing process is associated with important changes in cardiovascular responses involving arterial, venous, and cardiac systems that require comprehensive understanding.
This review summarizes the morphological, functional, electrological, and vascular changes in the cardiovascular system associated with aging.
The ageing process is associated with important changes in the responses of the cardiovascular system. They are not limited to the arterial system, involved in the modulation of cardiac afterload and vascular resistance, but they also involve the low-resistance capacitance venous system and the heart. This review focuses on the effects of ageing on the cardiovascular morphological, functional, electrological system and vascular functions.

Filiz Özerkan Çakan (2017) conducted a review in Cardiovascular physiology in the elderly. Ageing was evaluated. Ageing is associated with important morphological, functional, and electrological changes in the cardiovascular system, affecting both the arterial and venous systems as well as the heart.
