title: [Cardio-vascular assessment before starting to exercise after the age of 70].
abstract: Taking care of an elderly patient involves encouraging them to do some exercise. Ageing is responsible for a gradual loss of our capacity to adapt. Taking up a sport after the age of 70 must be done gradually and be preceded by a certain number of medical examinations, in particular an assessment of cardiac function.
