Altered cardiovascular response during heating Aortic pulse wave velocity increases Arterial rigidity gradually increases Arteriosclerosis Cardiac index decreased Cell proliferation increases Cellular hypertrophy in left ventricular wall Decrease in collagen in the venous intima Diastolic blood pressure changes Diastolic dysfunction with aging Diminution in the resting cardiac output Elastic and smooth muscle layers increase in size Elastic fibers become fragmented, redistributed, and thinned Endothelial cells more irregular in size and shape Facets of heart physiology altered during exercise Heart physiology measurements unchanged Heart physiology parameters altered Increase in collagen in the arterial intima Intima undergoes diffuse thickening Lipofuscin increases Maximum workload in response to exercise stress decreases Metabolic syndrome components associated with measures of arterial stiffness Mutations in mitochondrial DNA accumulate Orthostatic hypotension incidence increases Renewal rate of cardiomyocytes decreases with age Response to beta-adrenergic stimulation decreased Systolic blood pressure increases Wall increases in thickness
