A
it is difficult to isolate "aging process" of cardiovascular system, per se, because it is so
closely interrelated with________, ____________ & _________ - ANSWER
VI
lifestyle, habits and diseases.
Influences on coronary artery diseases: - ANSWER Lifestyle, smoking, diet, alcohol
TU
use, exercise patterns, and stress have an influence on coronary artery disease
What is left to be attributed to aging process alone? - ANSWER With aging, there is
an increase in systolic BP due to thickening and stiffening of the arteries
IS
Left ventricular wall becomes thicker but the overall size of the heart does not change
Pulse pressure increases
No change in resting heart rate or cardiac output at rest
M
Ability of heart to augment cardiac output with exercise is decreased
Some older adults experience orthostatic hypotension
O
Tachyarrhythmias may not be tolerated as well in older people because: - ANSWER
Myocardium thicker and less compliant, and early diastolic filling impaired at rest
A
Thus, may not tolerate a tachycardia as well because of shortened diastole
Cardiovascular disease increases in age, what else increases?: - ANSWER
N
Hypertension and heart failure also increase with age
JP
How do you reduce risk of death from cardiovascular diseases and respiratory illnesses
in older adults? - ANSWER Increasing physical activity
in an aging adult increased SBP because: - ANSWER Blood vessels thicken/harden
an aging adult has Increased pulse pressure because: - ANSWER Difference
between the systolic BP and the diastolic BP
