Age-related ventricular-vascular coupling during acute inflammation in humans: Effect of physical activity

Conclusions Aging did not affect the elastance responses but did affect central blood pressure and other ventricular systolic responses to acute inflammation. Aging, not physical activity, appears to modulate cardiovascular responses to acute inflammation, except in the most active older adults.
