Secondary Prevention in Older Adults: Putting It All Together.

Secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older adults plays a pivotal role in reducing morbidity and mortality, improving quality of life, and minimizing health care costs. This aspect of care is essential in enhancing life expectancy as the aging population is increasingly affected by CVD. This review focuses on the strategies, challenges, and recent advancements in secondary prevention for elderly populations. It examines pharmacologic and nonpharmacological interventions, discusses the barriers to effective implementation, and highlights the need for individualized care strategies. The paper also underscores the importance of multidisciplinary approaches in managing secondary prevention in this vulnerable population.
