Abstract

Arterial hypertension (AH) in elderly patients preserves its role as a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, while data from observational studies on the inverse relationship between blood pressure levels and life prognosis in patients with senile asthenia bring complex practical questions for the doctor concerning the use of antihypertensive medicaments. It is important that the decision on the tactics of antihypertensive therapy in older patients is made taking into account their functional status, presence of senile asthenia, and degree of autonomy preservation.
