Geriatrics Heart Health

Heart disease is a major threat to senior health and the No.1 cause of death. Heart failure, heart attack, irregular heartbeat, coronary artery disease, and atrial fibrillation are common reasons for health visits and Hospital stays. Normal aging causes your heart and blood vessels to stiffen, which can lead to these conditions in later years. For people older than 75, high blood pressure is the most common heart condition. Coronary artery disease and heart failure are next. For a better heart health, one should eat a healthy diet, minimize stress, reduce alcohol intake, and quit smoking etc., so that in the growing age the chances of getting heart disease might be less.
