Case Study # 2: Age-Related Changes that Occur in the Cardiovascular System Sarah Miller ITT Technical Institute As the heart ages it goes through changes such as thickening of the walls‚ slowing heart rate‚ decrease in maximum heart rate‚ loss of efficiency in pumping. The layers of the heart include the pericardium‚ epicardium‚ myocardium‚ and endocardium. The pericardium is the membrane that protects; it is a sac that the heart sits in and has a layer of fluid between for shock and absorption
