Abstract

The article looks into the spread of cardiovascular diseases in the elderly in Ukraine. It is noted that with the approach of old age with the development of various somatic and mental diseases there are changes in health, changes in the direction of life interests, and changes in social status (1). It is established that the combination of a group of drugs with a non-medicinal mixture of medicinal herbs gives a positive result in lowering blood pressure, improving heart rate, and clinical performance of the cardiovascular system (2). Deep dynamic changes - a new phenomenon that is characteristic of our century, have led to a significant “aging” of the population. The aging process largely explains the high percentage of morbidity and mortality (62.5%) from cardiovascular system diseases (3). Due to the accumulation of several diseases in old age, with a predominantly chronic course and constant exacerbation, the majority of elderly people are in increased demand for medical care. At present, more than half of the patients who see a therapist at the clinic are elderly and senile (4, 5).
