Isolated Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly
Copyright © 2007 Massachusetts Medical Society. A 68-year-old accountant visits his physician. He was told a year earlier that his blood pressure was somewhat elevated and was advised to reduce salt intake and increase physical activity.

متن کاملIsolated Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly.
Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is a very common condition in the elderly, even more than diastolic hypertension. Several studies indicate that ISH is a considerable cardiovascular risk factor in the elderly but the benefit of antihypertensive treatment has not been proved. Data in the literature on prevalence, pathophysiology, prognostic meaning and treatment of ISH are critically reviewed.
متن کاملPerspectives on isolated systolic hypertension in elderly patients.
Until the mid-20th century, clinicians' concern was directed mainly to the systolic component of blood pressure. Later, however, when systolic blood pressure was found to be elevated with advancing age and decreased compliance of the arterial wall, it began to be considered an inevitable consequence of aging. Based on this belief, physicians often concluded that only the diastolic blood pressur...
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 کاملAtrial fibrillation and isolated systolic hypertension: the systolic hypertension in the elderly program and systolic hypertension in the elderly program-extension study.
We performed a post hoc analysis of the Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program database to assess the incidence of atrial fibrillation in the elderly hypertensive population, its influence on cardiovascular events, and whether antihypertensive treatment can prevent its onset. The Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program was a double-blind placebo-controlled trial in 4736 subjects with...
