 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 21 The relationship between aging and cardiovascular disease [Keywords:] aging; Cardiovascular disease; by Age Disease risk and more integrated control center suggested that (1): China’s population of cardiovascular disease (mainly hypertension, coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction) morbidity and mortality rates increasing every year. This upward trend was mainly with the following factors (2 ): an aging population; the level of population increase in cardiovascular risk factors; effective control of infectious diseases led to the relative increase in non-communicable diseases. in the main non-traditional risk factors into modifiable risk factors (age, family history, male ) and modifiable risk factors (hypertension, serum total cholesterol (TC) increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL C) increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL C) decreased, diabetes, smoking) (1 ). Thus, a great impact on cardiovascular aging. from the National Health and Nutrition Survey and Han Fei information on cardiovascular morbidity and steep increase with aging (3), the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Elderly (BLSA) data show that the positive exercise electrocardiography and exercise ECT implicit with increasing age in patients with coronary heart disease incidence increased mortality in these patients after 5 years was significantly higher (4). An age-induced changes in vascular structure and function 1.1 The structure of human aorta with aging changes in the aging process appears elastic artery wall thickening is a significant structural change and luminal expansion. Epidemiologic data show that non-invasive measurement, since the age of 20 to 90 years of carotid intima-media thickness gradually increased 2 to 3 times (5). After excluding screening and coronary stenosis of carotid artery after, BLSA studies have reached the same result (6): age-related increase of intima-media thickness and lumen expansion of the ar
