["Anti-aging" from a cardiologist's view]

Abstract

The bases of "anti-aging" therapy are smoking cessation, diet and physical activity. In addition, individuals can be identified, on the basis of their global vascular risk, who will benefit from pharmacotherapy to control blood pressure, lipids and platelet aggregation. From the cardiologist's perspective, there is at present no evidence indicating the use of vitamins, antioxidants or hormone therapy in cardiovascular prevention.
