In 2005, cardiovascular disease (CVDs) was the leading cause of death. It was responsible for 30% of all deaths, or about 17.5 million people, followed by cancer 7.6 million deaths , and chronic respiratory diseases 4.1 million deaths. By 2015 almost 20 million people will die from CVD. Life expectancy in the USA for 2007 is 78.0 years; in males it is 76.2 years and in females it is 80.97 years. Increased life expectancy continues to increase the number of elderly patients subjected to anesthesia and cardiac surgery. The aging of the population and the decrease in adult mortality seen in the last decade will increase the average age of Americans between the years 2010 and 2030. During that time the population older than 65 years is expected to grow by 75% and, Americans over 85 years will be the most rapidly growing segment of the nation. The implications of an aging population for the clinical practice of anesthesiology, surgery and critical care are well recognized.
