Walking aids older women's arterial elasticity, helping heart.(Brief Article)
2002 MAY 23 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- With advancing age, large arteries like the aorta and carotid lose their elasticity making it harder for them to expand and relax with each heart beat. Increase in the stiffness of these arteries can contribute to high blood pressure and enlarging of the heart, both risk factors for heart disease. Impaired elasticity in the carotid artery also can be a factor in postural hypotension, when blood pressure drops precipitously as a person changes body position.
A new study presented at Experimental Biology 2002 meeting in New Orleans on April 22, 2002, shows how relatively easy it may be to modify this elasticity problem. Dr. Kerrie Moreau and colleagues from the University of Colorado Human Cardiovascular Research Laboratory studied 14 healthy but sedentary postmenopausal women (a group for whom cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in this country). The women's average age was 60 [plus-or-minus sign] 3 years. Walking at a moderate ...
