Treatment of hypertension in the elderly
Compr Ther.
1987 Nov.
Abstract
The objective of treating the elderly patient with hypertension should be to reduce blood pressure to safe levels (systolic blood pressure less than 180 mm Hg), while minimizing adverse effects and changes in life-style. If the clinician considers the unique physiologic, pharmacologic, and psychosocial characteristics of this population, he will be successful in attaining these goals.
