TITLE
“Causes and complication of cardiovascular disease among old age people”
INTRODUCTION
Cardiovascular disease is defined as general term for the condition which is affected the
heart and the blood vessels. It is usually associated with some of the build based fatty deposit
inside the arteries which is called as atherosclerosis and have the enhance which is associated
with the risk of blood clots. This is based on the damage of arteries in such part of the organ such
as the brain, kidney and eyes. As per this, the cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes
which can lead to death and largely prevented by using various kind of medication and therapies.
In this, it is also analysing that they are often prevented by leading the healthy lifestyle. As per
this, with wide range of angle, there are various type of cardiovascular disease (Boren & et. al.,
2020).
In this, there are usually four type of cardiovascular disease which can be divided as
coronary heart disease, strokes and TIAs, peripheral arterial disease, and aortic disease. They
have wide range of because which can trigger an individual and make them ill with the disease
which is related with heart. People who is in old age have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease
which can be treated with wide aspect of medication. In this report, the major concept of the
cardiovascular disease is well discussed. Moreover, there various causes and risk factor which is
based on cardiovascular disease which can create complication with old age people which is
elaborately analyse in this report. However, there are some the ways and intervention are also
discussed in order to reduce the such type of implication which can create issue with old age
people (Haas & et. al., 2018).
Cardiovascular disease is defined as the group of disease which can affect the heart and
blood vessels of the body. The disease which can affect one or many parts of heart and which is
based on blood vessels. A person which may be symptomatic physically based on the various
experience or be asymptomatic which is not drive any symptoms and person do not visualise any
feeling. Moreover, there are many type of cardiovascular disease which have been include
arrhythmia, valve disease, coronary artery disease, heart failure, peripheral artery disease and
other disease which is associated with heart and create prolong problem when it is related with
any individual (VanWagner and et. al., 2017). However, heart attack and strokes which act as
1

serious complication of the cardiovascular disease which can occur when the arteries of heart and
brain arteries show some of sudden blockage. This is also identified as the cardiovascular disease
which is act as the leading causes of death around the world and almost of the adults and major
of old age people can face the issue with cardiovascular disease. It also affects the men and
women and acceptability of major of people with this disease in their old age. In this, it is also
affect the different age people, ethnicities and socioeconomic levels (Landry and et. al., 2018).
In this, the healthcare provider which help to perform a physical exam and used to ask some
of the complication which is related with personal health and family health history. In this, there
are various other kind of diagnose which include such as measurement of blood substance which
help to indicate the cardiovascular health such as cholesterol and specific protein and other
element which is related with heart. Moreover, electrocardiogram which help to records the
electrical activity in heart. In this, the ambulatory monitoring which is uses device that help to
track heart rhythm and rates. However, echogram is also play essential role in order to develop
some of the sound waves which used to formulate heartbeat and blood flow. In other factor, the
use of catheterization plays vital role which help to measure pressure and blood flow in heart
(Ruparelia and et. al., 2017).
BACKGROUND
Cardiovascular disease is generally defined as a term which includes the conditions that are
affecting the blood vessels as well as a heart. As heart is a natural pacemaker that controls the
heart rhythms and some of the pathways of this system may develop tissues such as fibrous and
deposits fat on the walls. This deposition of fat as well as developed fibrous tissues may result in
loss of some major cells which later on slows the heart rate (Sabatine and et. al., 2017). These
diseases arise when the fatty deposited inside the walls of arteries which later results in an
increased risk of blood clots. It often linked with the damage to arteries in organs such as
kidneys, eyes, and brain. In both men and women, age plays an important part in the impairment
of cardiovascular functionality which results in an increased risk of heart disease in older ages. In
addition to this, these rising risks corresponds to an overall decrease in the sex hormones,
including testosterone and oestrogen. Nowadays, cardiovascular disease is one of the main
reason of deaths specially in the old age across worldwide, but it can be prevented by acquiring a
healthy lifestyle. In normal ageing, it causes an individual’s blood vessels and heart to stiffen
which further leads to these conditions in later years. In old age, the raising blood pressure level
