Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and major disability worldwide, and the global burden of heart disease is increasing, in large part because of the aging of the population. In the United States, nearly two thirds of all cardiovascular hospitalizations occur in patients aged 65 and older, over 80% of cardiovascular deaths occur in geriatric individuals, and an estimated 70% of Americans over age 70 have clinically recognized cardiovascular disease.[1,2] For these reasons, practitioners should become familiar with strategies for the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease in older adults.
