Cardiovascular Aging: What Your Heart Health Tells Us About Longevity

At EASTSIDE LONGEVITY CLINIC in Kirkland, WA, we view cardiovascular health as one of the most important biomarkers of aging. Dr. Frank Marinkovich, M.D., uses advanced, preventive strategies to assess vascular age, detect early dysfunction, and help you preserve heart health for decades to come.

What Is Cardiovascular Aging?

• The gradual decline in blood vessel elasticity, heart muscle function, and oxygen delivery with age

• Driven by inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic dysfunction, and poor lifestyle habits

• Begins earlier than most people realize—often in the 30s or 40s

  Why it matters: Vascular health affects your brain, energy, mobility, and lifespan.

Early Signs of an Aging Cardiovascular System

• Elevated blood pressure or cholesterol

• Poor exercise tolerance or recovery

• Cold hands and feet or poor circulation

• Erectile dysfunction or fatigue

• Brain fog or lightheadedness on standing

  Why it matters: These symptoms may reflect vascular aging—even if you're not diagnosed with heart disease.

Key Risk Factors to Address Now

• Insulin resistance and belly fat

• High triglycerides or low HDL

• Chronic inflammation (high CRP or homocysteine)

• Poor sleep and unmanaged stress

• Sedentary lifestyle and micronutrient depletion

  Why it matters: These drivers are modifiable with the right care and commitment.

Our Longevity Approach to Cardiovascular Optimization

• Arterial Age Testing – Carotid ultrasound, calcium scoring, and endothelial function

• Advanced Labs – Lipid particle testing, ApoB, hs-CRP, insulin, and homocysteine

• Peptide & Mitochondrial Therapy – To support endothelial repair and energy metabolism

• Targeted Nutrition & Fitness Plans – Anti-inflammatory diets, nitric oxide support, zone 2 cardio, and strength training

• Hormonal & Metabolic Balancing – Addressing low testosterone, thyroid issues, and cortisol dysregulation

  Why it matters: Slowing cardiovascular aging keeps your brain sharp, body strong, and life fully lived.
