Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. and growing older is the greatest — and most inevitable — risk factor for it. So what, if anything, can we do to keep our hearts and arteries as healthy as possible for as long as possible? This week, researchers will convene at the Cardiovascular Aging: New Frontiers and Old Friends conference to discuss the latest research aimed at addressing this question.
Keynote speaker Douglas Seals, PhD, of the University of Colorado Boulder, will lay the groundwork of what we know and the promising research that could combat cardiovascular aging in his presentation “Strategies for Optimal Cardiovascular Aging.”
