TL;DR: Current findings regarding the impacts of age and gender on heart disease are discussed and hormone replacement therapies are largely shown to not improve outcomes in older patients and may also increase the risks of cardiac events in older adults.

Inflammaging and Oxidative Stress in Human Diseases: From Molecular Mechanisms to Novel Treatments
TL;DR: This review focuses on inflammaging and its contribution to various age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population-level COVID-19 mortality risk for non-elderly individuals overall and for non-elderly individuals without underlying diseases in pandemic epicenters.
TL;DR: People<65 years old have very small risks of COVID-19 death even in pandemic epicenters and deaths for people <65 years without underlying predisposing conditions are remarkably uncommon.

Bruce M. Psaty,Teri A. Manolio,Lewis H. Kuller,Richard A. Kronmal,Mary Cushman,Linda P. Fried,Richard H. White,Curt D. Furberg,Pentti M. Rautaharju +8 more
TL;DR: The incidence of AF in older adults may be higher than estimated by previous population studies and left atrial size appears to be an important risk factor, and the control of blood pressure and glucose may be important in preventing the development of AF.

TL;DR: There was an inverse dose-response relation of the AAI with CVD risk factors and subclinical and clinical CVD among older adults, and even those with modest, asymptomatic reductions in theAAI appear to be at increased risk of CVD.

Association of aortic-valve sclerosis with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in the elderly.

TL;DR: There was a stepwise increase in deaths from any cause and deaths from cardiovascular causes with increasing aortic-valve abnormality with increasing the risk of cardiovascular events.

Prevalence of aortic valve abnormalities in the elderly: An echocardiographic study of a random population sample☆
TL;DR: Calcific aortic valve stenosis constitutes a significant health problem in the elderly and only a minority of those with potentially operable aorta stenosis undergo surgery.

Prevalence of atrial fibrillation in elderly subjects (the Cardiovascular Health Study)

TL;DR: The low prevalence of AF in the absence of clinical and subclinical cardiovascular disease calls into question the existence and clinical usefulness of the concept of so-called "lone atrial fibrillation" in the elderly.
