title: Are the Hemodynamic Changes in Elderly Hypertensive Patients of Clinical Importance? Do They Influence the Choice of Medication?
abstract: Despite the fact that elderly hypertensive patients have numerous concomitant diseases and changes in physiologic responses compared to middle-aged or younger individuals, they generally repond well to antihypertensive drug therapy without significant adverse reactions-provided that medication is started at low dosages and that dosages are increased slowly. There is little doubt that the benefit of treatment outweighs the risk.
