Dr. Jeffrey Gladden explains why your arteries age faster than the rest of you. Vascular inflammation and arterial stiffness show up before symptoms do. Improving blood vessel health and VO₂ max slows aging across your whole body.
Here's why heart health is longevity health. As a cardiologist, I can tell you the heart is often the first system to show early signs of aging. Vascular inflammation, arterial stiffness, and metabolic dysfunction quietly damage the delicate inner lining of the arteries and accelerate aging long before symptoms appear. Optimizing blood vessel health and our VO2 max, which is a measure of the heart's pumping capacity, these improve oxygen delivery, endurance, cognitive function, and overall resilience. When we lower our vascular age, we often improve multiple systems simultaneously. By applying advanced cardiac diagnostics, we can help you see what others miss and protect one of your most vital systems years before traditional medicine would ever see what's coming.
