Seniors Missing Out on Life Saving Treatments

Posted: Updated:

A significant number of seniors are missing out on treatment that could prolong and improve their quality of life.

British researchers studied a group of people in their late 80's and found a quarter of them had undiagnosed, serious heart problems that could be treated easily.

The study's authors recommend people over 85 who have trouble breathing get their heart checked.
