Cardiovascular System Resilience

Meaning

Cardiovascular System Resilience defines the heart and vasculature’s intrinsic ability to maintain optimal function and rapidly recover from physiological stressors, including exercise, emotional duress, and chronic disease states. It encompasses the elasticity of arterial walls, the efficiency of cardiac output, and the stability of endothelial function. High resilience is a key biomarker for longevity and significantly reduces the lifetime risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Clinical efforts focus on supporting this robust adaptive capacity within the circulatory system.
