Abstract

In developed countries, premature death and morbidity caused by cardiovascular diseases of the aged are an important issue. This is also an increasing problem in the developing world. This symposium discussed the structural and functional changes, which underlie the way in which the susceptibility of the cardiovascular system to disease increases with age, and how such changes are influenced by external factors.
