Why Cardiac rhythm and Pulse Pressure get lower as the person gets older?

Posted on July 12, 2010 by admin

Sorry my english is not that good :)

The cardiac rhythm (did you mean rate?) doesn’t necessarily get lower with age.

The pulse pressure may narrow because atherosclerosis causes the arteries to be less flexible.

    Basically the kidneys are not working as they should be due to many reasons. The kidneys play a huge part in monitoring blood pressure and the heart is weakening also
