Age and the Cardiovascular System
Abstract
DESPITE the decline in rates of mortality due to heart disease during the past two decades, cardiovascular disease remains the most frequent single cause of death among persons over 65 years of age.1 2 3 It also accounts for a major and growing proportion of hospitalizations and health care costs and is a leading cause of morbidity among older people.2 , 3 In this review, I shall consider age-associated changes that may influence the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease in older patients and aspects of evaluation and management that are different for older patients than for younger adults.Morphologic ChangesThe MyocardiumMany . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
