Aging and CVDs. The cardiac and arterial aging is characterized by a stressful environment to the cells, derived, at least in part, from the high levels of oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. The crosstalk between them is a vicious and gradual cycle, which accompanies the course of aging. These changes drive to the development of CVDs, such as hypertension, heart failure, arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and stroke.
