Core Tip This review synthesizes current evidence that cardiovascular aging is driven by interconnected hallmarks: Cellular senescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic remodeling, telomere attrition, and impaired proteostasis which converge on atherosclerosis, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, hypertension, and arrhythmia. We highlight emerging assessment tools including imaging-based indices, circulating biomarkers, and epigenetic clocks for quantifying biological age, and critically evaluate geroprotective strategies ranging from lifestyle modification to senotherapeutics and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide/mechanistic target of rapamycin modulation. Bridging geroscience principles with cardiovascular medicine, this review positions cardiovascular aging as a clinically modifiable target for promoting healthy longevity.
