Elderly cardiovascular patients in Croatia

Croatian population is ageing rapidly, and elderly population should become specific target when certain diseases are in question. CVDs are well represented by various forms of health and social care for elderly. However, the elderly are not accustomed to using the internet, so education should be targeted for today's generations and made available through other media. Education not specified by and to age, we found as a sort of omission. The current believe is that elderly CVD patients, while they suffer from hypertension longer, are better educated and more prone to self-care, which is not necessary the case. Thus, we believe, the disease management should be age oriented as well.
