Based on the results of the studies, which of the following age-related anatomic changes contributes to well-maintained cardiac output in the elderly men?

A) Dilated ascending aorta
B) Increased coronary collateral circulation
C) Increased number of myocytes
D) Left ventricular dilation
E) Left ventricular hypertrophy
