描述 | As the life expectancy of patients with arterial hypertensionincreases, hypertension in the elderly is becoming a relevant medicaland social problem. Indeed, epidemiological trials have shown that thecardiovascular risk in elderly hypertensives is significantly higherthan in normotensive subjects of comparable age. However, manycharacteristics of hypertension in the elderly, such as thehaemodynamic pattern, do differ greatly from those of youngerhypertensives and therefore the results obtained in younger patientscannot be extrapolated to older hypertensives. .In this book, experts on hypertension have examined different aspectsof hypertension in the elderly: from the changes in the cardiovascularsystem associated with ageing, to the role of ambulatory bloodpressure measurement in the diagnosis of hypertension and the resultsof the recent clinical trials into the efficacy and tolerability ofantihypertensive drugs. .This book covers all the clinical aspects of hypertension in theelderly in such a way that it will become a valuable tool for medicalstudents, general practitioners and specialists in hypertension alike.. |
