Diuretic treatment of systolic hypertension in the elderly.
The publication, in 1991, of the results of the Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program (SHEP) constituted a major therapeutic advance for treating isolated systolic hypertension–systolic blood pressure 160 to 219 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure ,90 mm Hg in patients .60 years of age.1 The results demonstrated not only a decrease in strokes but also coronary heart disease. In earlier st...
متن کاملHypokalemia associated with diuretic use and cardiovascular events in the Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program.
The treatment of hypertension with high-dose thiazide diuretics results in potassium depletion and a limited benefit for preventing coronary events. The clinical relevance of hypokalemia associated with low-dose diuretics has not been assessed. To determine whether hypokalemia that occurs with low-dose diuretics is associated with a reduced benefit on cardiovascular events, we analyzed data of ...
متن کاملSystolic Hypertension in the Elderly
Isolated systolic hypertension (systolic blood pressure of 160 mm Hg or greater, diastolic blood pressure less than 90) was investigated in the Leisure World population at Seal Beach, California. The prevalence of this condition was 13.9% if the blood pressure at the initial examination was used but dropped to 2.7% if the subsequent two determinations of blood pressure were also reviewed. Seven...
متن کاملTarget blood pressure for treatment of isolated systolic hypertension in the elderly: valsartan in elderly isolated systolic hypertension study.
In this prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point study, we aimed to establish whether strict blood pressure control (<140 mm Hg) is superior to moderate blood pressure control (> or =140 mm Hg to <150 mm Hg) in reducing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension. We divided 3260 patients aged 70 to 84 years with isolated systolic...
متن کاملDiuretic Treatment of Hypertension
A lthough thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics are indispensable drugs in the treatment of hypertension, their role as first-line or even second-line drugs is a provoking debate. The European Society of Cardiology/ European Society of Hypertension (ESC/ ESH) guidelines recommend that thiazide diuretics should be considered as suitable as b-blockers, calcium antagonists, ACE inhibitors, and angi...
