Abstract
This article discusses the evaluation and management of stable and unstable elderly patients with dyspnea. Several of the changes in the elderly that alter cardiopulmonary physiology are discussed. A review of common presenting illnesses and their evaluation and management are highlighted. The reader should be left with a better understanding of this unique population and the overall evaluation and treatment.Entities:
