The Age Factor in Hypertension

Abstract

Hypertension in the elderly is not a compensatory phenomenon to offset the decline in organ perfusion that occurs with age. Rather, superimposition of hypertension on aging apparently leads to increased damage in the target organs: brain, heart, and kidneys. Accordingly, preservation of blood flow and function of vital organs takes precedence over reduction of blood pressure alone.
