Synopsis for Table of Contents Cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older Americans imposes a huge burden in terms of mortality, morbidity, disability, functional decline, and healthcare costs. In light of the projected growth of the population of older adults over the next several decades, the societal burden attributable to CVD will continue to rise. There is thus an enormous opportunity to foster successful aging and to increase functional life years through expanded efforts aimed at CVD prevention. This chapter provides an overview of the epidemiology of CVD in older adults, including an assessment of the impact of CVD on mortality, morbidity, and health care costs.
