Both aging and Arterial Hypertension (AH) cause a series of structural and functional changes in the cardiovascular apparatus. The reduction of aortic distensibility (RAD) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are, in particular, two significant markers of cardiovascular damage apart from being factors of serious and widespread morphological alterations. In this paper, the Authors analyze the effects of aging and of AH on the cardiovascular apparatus in order to find a possible clinical significance in relation to both RAD and LVH.
衰老和动脉高血压（AH）都会导致心血管系统发生一系列结构和功能变化。主动脉扩张性降低（RAD）和左心室肥厚（LVH）尤其分别是心血管损伤的两个重要标志，同时也是严重且广泛形态学改变的因素。在本文中，作者分析了衰老和AH对心血管系统的影响，以探寻与RAD和LVH相关的潜在临床意义。
