The concepts of fragility and resilience are often used together to describe elderly people with reduced physical activity. While fragility, which develops with the aging of the body, is a biological syndrome of a decrease in the stressors response resulting from cumulative regression in many physiological systems, and age related a comprehensive assessment of the ability resistance to stress. In this regard, it is important to develop systems and scales for the identification groups of risk among the elderly.

The more profound the dysfunction of CCS is, the closer it is to the myocardial alteration foci. The altered CCS with the block recorded should be interpreted as its impact of ischemia in the presence of fibrosis and calcinosis of ventricular septal structures.
