Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Population aging is becoming the most important driver of the CVD epidemic. With the rapid increase in an aging population, the burden of CVD will continuously increase. Most old people also suffer multimorbidity, which is strongly associated with impaired quality of life, disability, dependence, and mortality. However, few reviews evaluated the CVD burden accompanied by population aging and the challenges of CVD care in elderly individuals with multimorbidity. This review identified and summarized the current status of the CVD epidemic associated with aging and highlighted the challenges and needs of CVD care for the elderly.
心血管疾病（CVD）是全球首要死因。人口老龄化正成为心血管疾病流行的最重要驱动因素。随着老年人口迅速增加，心血管疾病负担将持续加重。大多数老年人还患有多种疾病，这与生活质量受损、残疾、依赖和死亡率密切相关。然而，很少有综述评估伴随人口老龄化的心血管疾病负担以及患有多种疾病的老年人在心血管疾病护理方面面临的挑战。本综述确定并总结了与老龄化相关的心血管疾病流行现状，并强调了老年人心血管疾病护理的挑战和需求。
