Anti-aging therapeutics may prevent and slow age-related cardiovascular dysfunction.

Participants: Healthy males (age range: 70-76)
Dosage: 1 mg per day of rapamycin for 8 weeks

Supplementing with rapamycin leads to improvements in cardiac and vascular function in older men, suggesting this longevity-associated drug may counteract cardiovascular aging.
