These changes are driven by complex processes that are interconnected, such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, autophagy, inflammation, fibrosis, and telomere dysfunction. In recent years, the advances in research of cardiovascular aging, including the wide use of animal models of cardiovascular aging, elucidated an abundance of cell signaling pathways involved in these processes and brought into sight possible interventions, which span from pharmacological agents, such as metformin, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2-inhibitors, rapamycin, dasatinib and quercetin, to lifestyle changes.Pages 23application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalCardiovascular agingautophagyfibrosisinflammagingmitochondrial dysfunctionoxidative stressArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.20517/jca.2023.0933Warren, Junko [0000-0001-5231-4181]372741262768-5993
