Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Diuretic-Based Antihypertensive Treatment on Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Older Diabetic Patients With Isolated Systolic Hypertension
J. David Curb,Sara L. Pressel,Jeffrey A. Cutler,Peter J. Savage,William B. Applegate,Henry R. Black,Greta Camel,Barry R. Davis,P. Frost,Nelly Gonzalez,Gordon P. Guthrie,Albert Oberman,Gail H. Rutan,Jeremiah Stamler +13 more
TL;DR: Low-dose diuretic-based (chlorthalidone) treatment is effective in preventing major CVD events, cerebral and cardiac, in both non-insulin-treated diabetic and nondiabetic older patients with ISH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of the treatment of isolated systolic hypertension on behavioral variables. Results from the systolic hypertension in the elderly program.
William B. Applegate,Sarah Pressel,Janet Wittes,J C Luhr,Richard B. Shekelle,Greta Camel,Merwyn R. Greenlick,Hadley E,Lemuel A. Moyé,Horace M. Perry +9 more
TL;DR: Results of this study support the inference that medical treatment of isolated systolic hypertension does not cause deterioration in measures of cognition, emotional state, physical function, or leisure activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Diuretic-Based Antihypertensive Treatment on Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Older Diabetic Patients with Isolated Systolic Hypertension
J. David Curb,Sara L. Pressel,Jeffrey A. Cutler,Peter J. Savage,William B. Applegate,Henry R. Black,Greta Camel,Barry R. David,P. Frost,Nelly Gonzalez,Gordon P. Guthrie,Albert Oberman,Gail H. Rutan,Anthony P. Adams +13 more
TL;DR: Low-dose diuretic-based (chlorthalidone) treatment is effective in preventing major CVD events, cerebral and cardiac, in both non-insulin-treated diabetic and nondiabetic older patients with ISH, with few adverse effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation of Low Body Mass to Death and Stroke in the Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program
Sylvia Wassertheil-Smoller,Cathy S.J. Fann,Richard M. Allman,Henry R. Black,Greta Camel,Barry R. Davis,Kamal Masaki,Sarah Pressel,Ronald J. Prineas,Jeremiah Stamler,Thomas M. Vogt +10 more
TL;DR: Among older patients with hypertension, a wide range of BMIs was associated with a similar risk of death and stroke; a low BMI was associatedwith increased risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recruitment of elderly volunteers for a multicenter clinical trial: the SHEP pilot study.
TL;DR: The SHEP experience indicates that older persons are willing to volunteer for clinical trials research and that problems of inference are probably not any greater for that age group than for any other.
