    Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality, with prevalence increasing significantly in older adults.

  • 2

    Aging contributes to CAD through mechanisms like cellular senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), promoting chronic inflammation.

  • 3

    Endothelial dysfunction and large-artery stiffness are key vascular phenotypes of aging, independently predicting future cardiovascular events.

  • 4

    Gut microbiota dysbiosis and altered bile acid metabolism are linked to CAD, affecting systemic inflammation and cardiovascular health.

  • 5

    The gut, liver, and heart form a communication network that influences cardiovascular outcomes, highlighting the importance of multi-organ interactions.
