According to the passage, diseases related to the heart and lungs ----.
A century ago, most people who suffered
traumatic injuries or contracted serious infections
died soon afterward. Also those who developed
heart disease or cancer had little expectation of a
long life after the disease was diagnosed. Death
was a familiar experience, and most people
expected little more than comfort care from
doctors. Today, death is often seen as an event
that can be deferred indefinitely rather than as an
intrinsic part of life. The leading causes of death
for people over age 65 years are heart disease,
cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, pneumonia and dementia. Medical
procedures commonly extend the lives of people
who have these diseases, often giving people
many years in which quality of life and function
are quite good. Sometimes, however, procedures
extend life, but the quality of life and function
decline.
