In the third age, great changes take place in the organism and in the functioning of our heart, so that it is also the most frequent stage of life in which diseases such as cardiovascular diseases can appear.

With each passing day we age almost without realizing it, and once we have reached this third age, our heart, organs, muscles and bones are no longer what they were years ago.

Currently, people between 65 and 75 years old are those most at risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is important to take cardiovascular health seriously from youth, but above all, from old age.

Effects of aging on the heart and blood vessels

The problem is that in the elderly it is common for arterial hypertension or cholesterol to appear, arrhythmias, fatty deposits in arteries, arteriosclerosis, rigid valves and heart muscles, etc; diseases that if not controlled can lead to cardiac arrest.

With age the heart becomes larger with thicker and more rigid walls, the heart rate slows, with an abnormal elevation of blood pressure during systole, while blood pressure remains normal during diastole.

As prevention methods, it is advisable to eat a healthy and balanced diet with foods without salt, to practice moderate physical activity regularly and not to consume tobacco or alcohol.

At a time when the population of our country is increasingly aging, the risks of suffering from cardiovascular diseases or accidents are increasing, and consequently, the existence of cardioprotegidos spaces with defibrillators in residences and homes for the elderly.
