[Blood pressure parameters and cardiovascular risk in the elderly].

Annales de cardiologie et d'angeiologie - 1 Sept 1999

Blacher J, Henry O, Girerd X, Safar M

Abstract excerpt

The treatment decision must take into account the benefit and risks related to the intervention: the benefit demonstrated and quantified in many therapeutic trials in hypertension in the elderly, but also the patient's initial risk. It is now recognized that, in elderly hypertensive patients, systolic blood pressure is a better predictor of morbid and lethal events related to hypertension than diastolic blood...
