Congestive heart failure is the most common cause of hospital admission in elderly patients in the USA, with patients subject to frequent readmissions. Poor compliance with medication, particularly diuretics, is an important factor and has been reported in up to 50% of elderly patients with congestive heart failure. Objective: To determine prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in elderly patients (85 years o. Clinical data on the effect of antihyperglycemic treatment on cardiovascular (CV) events in elderly persons are limited (1). The U.S. Food and Coronary artery disease (CAD) increases with age in women and is the in elderly patients with CHF, the prevalence of diastolic heart failure Diseases affecting the gall bladder and bile ducts occur commonly in the elderly. the age of 70, cholelithiasis, the most frequently occurring disorder affecting these organ systems, and its sequela, choledocholithiasis, are found in 33% of the population of the United States.1 The challenges facing the clinician responsible for treating elderly patients with biliary tract diseases are: (1) The aging process is associated with predictable anatomic and physiologic alterations in the cardiovascular system. Consequently, the manifestations of heart Background. The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics, management, and outcomes of acute cholecystitis in patients 80 years. Methods. This was a retrospective analysis of data from a prospective single-center patient registry. Results. The study population was composed of 348 patients, which were divided into two groups: those younger (Group A) and those older (Group B) than the Depression is a prevalent psychiatric co-morbidity in the elderly with Alzheimer dementia or vascular dementia. Unfortunately, depressive symptoms are often under-recognized in these diseases being masked cognitive impairment. Depression is a predictor of reduced HrQoL in elderly people with dementia, therefore, they should be screened for More than four in five (83%) cardiovascular disease hospitalisations occurred in those aged 55 years and over. Cardiovascular disease Pensioners should not stop taking statins just because they feel healthy, scientists have warned after finding that doing so may boost the risk of In elderly patients with hypertension and diabetes, Although there are very few data on kidney disease in the elderly population, ACCOMPLISH trial did provide some evidence worthy of being tested in a prospective trial, that is, that a calcium antagonist/ACE-I combination led to fewer people going on dialysis than a diuretic/ACE-I combination; ABSTRACTFrailty and cardiovascular disease are highly interconnected and of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and lifestyle in the aging population. In people over age 80,2 making them inadequate for use in older patients. The high risk of infectious diseases in the elderly. While aging is a normal process, and not in itself a disease, age-related physiological changes place the elderly at high risk for infectious diseases.These diseases are therefore a leading cause of hospital admission and cause of death in this patient population. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 includes provisions that added certain preventive services to Medicare, including cancer screenings and However, limited data are available regarding the impact of cardiovascular disease in elderly COPD patients who require hospitalisation for pneumonia. To doctors, we would recommend not stopping statin treatment given for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases in your patients aged
