Overview

Cardiovascular diseases are a group of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, hypertension, heart failure, and cerebrovascular conditions such as stroke. They typically develop through processes such as atherosclerosis, in which fatty deposits narrow and stiffen arteries, and through the cumulative effects of risk factors including high blood pressure, abnormal lipids, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, and smoking. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease rises with advancing age, making it a central concern in Aging Research And Healthcare, where the interplay between vascular aging, chronic conditions, and lifestyle shapes outcomes in older adults. Prevention and management emphasize controlling modifiable risk factors, healthy behaviors, and appropriate medical care. Research in this journal examines several facets of this area, including regulatory mechanisms of candidate genes associated with human cardiovascular disease, knowledge, attitudes, and practices about cardiovascular disease among adults attending public health centers, the relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors and hypertension among older adults, and the influence of cardiovascular risk factors and depressive symptoms on health in vulnerable older diabetic individuals. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to cardiovascular disease, its risk factors, and its management in the context of aging and healthcare.
