It is becoming a more important one in view of the aging of the population and the greater number of older people incurring acute infectious as well as chronic degenerative diseases. In disease of the cardiovascular system, this age variation...References1. COHN AE: The aging of the heart muscle regarded from a general biologic point of view, Am. Jr. Med.
