Abstrak

This chapter briefly summarizes what we currently know about some of the biological changes that accompany aging, and then tries to predict which of these may be the most relevant to the onset of age-related cardiac pathology, and the ultimate need for cardiothoracic surgery in older persons. Although cardiovascular diseases are now the major cause of mortality in developed countries, and age is a major risk factor for many of these diseases, it is still not clear just which age-related changes are the most critical in affecting longevity or the risk of dying as a result of cardiovascular pathology.
