Hypertension in Elderly

Journal Article

TL;DR: A meta-analysis is presented of 8 therapeutic trials in elderly hypertensive patients, and Beta-blockers and especially diuretics are recommended as first-line drugs in elderly patients with symptomless, uncomplicated hypertension, since the effectiveness of other drugs in reducing morbidity and mortality is not yet established.
Journal Article
