title: Age-related effects of beta-blockers and hypertension.
abstract: The literature relating to the effect of age on the blood pressure response to beta-blockade is critically reviewed. It is concluded that although there may be an interaction, the appropriate clinical studies have not, as yet, been performed. There is no evidence of an increase in adverse events with age.
