The older a person gets, the more "calcified" are the blood vessels. They lose their elasticity, harden and become narrow. This can lead to hypertension, stroke, heart attack and kidney disease. Main cause of atherosclerosis is a too high proportion of fat in the blood (cholesterol), etc. (K. Langbein, Bitter Pills)
Here are some other key facts from the 2024 report: There are 2,552 deaths from total cardiovascular disease (CVD) each day, based on 2021 data.
