The ageing process is associated with important changes in the responses of the cardiovascular system. They are not limited to the arterial system, involved in the modulation of cardiac afterload and vascular resistance, but they also involve the low-resistance capacitance venous system and the heart. This review focuses on the effects of ageing on the cardiovascular morphological, functional, electrological system and vascular functions.

Keywords: Cardiovascular changes, cardiovascular physiology, elderly patient.
