Discuss two age-associated changes in arterial structure and function and subsequent cardiac conditions (i.e., electrocardiogram changes, left ventricular changes, heart failure, myocardial infarction, conduction, and beta-adrenergic changes, etc.)
•ANSWER•
•Age associated changes in arterial structure-
• Many changes will occur in arterial structure with advanced age. Which are
•Arterioscloresis– with advanced age, Deposition of Calcium and College will occur and it will lead to Stiffening and hardening of the large arteries. And it will cause increased blood pressure.
•Remodeling of the Pulmonary artery- With the advanced age, stiffness and increased arterial systolic pressure of the pulmonary artery will occur.
•Dialation of arteries- Several arteries dilate with advanced age.like
Aortic root diameter will increase with advanced age. Which leads to hypertrophy of the left ventricle.
