| Summary: | Objective: This study is aimed at studying the gender characteristics of the functional state of the cardiovascular system in elderly patients. Material and Methods: 74 senile patients (32 males and 42 females) aged 75-90 years old were examined in an outpatient department. Each patient was performed clinical and laboratory examination, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic examination, daily monitoring of blood pressure, determination of the actual biological age, adaptation potential of the cardiovascular system and features of vegetative regulation. Results: The results of the study confirm that the human body of old age despite the involutive changes does not lose over the years the ability to adapt, adapt and function. In men, the excess of biological age testified to the presence of their more significant influence of age factor. In elderly women, less pronounced signs of pathological cardiac remodeling and a greater ability to adapt were revealed. Conclusion: Involutive changes of the whole body make a special contribution to systemic hemodynamics, which should be taken into account by the attending physician in the treatment of elderly patients. |
