Hypertension in the elderly.

B Hutchison.   

Abstract

The elderly differ biologically from young and middle-aged adults. We cannot assume that hypertension has the same significance in the elderly or that treatment outcomes will be similar. Evidence concerning the risks of hypertension and benefits of antihypertensive therapy in the elderly is reviewed and the implications for patient management are outlined. There are hazards to antihypertensive therapy; an approach to treatment is presented.
