Heart & Age

Blood pressure often increases with age, but that doesn't mean we should consider hypertension "normal."

Its correct regulation remains important even at older ages.

Age increases cardiovascular risk, but screening frequency is not determined by age alone.

We take into account the general condition, symptoms, existing diseases and treatment.

Prevention has no specific age limit.

Goals vary from person to person. At older ages we place particular emphasis on the balance between benefit, safety, functionality and quality of life.
