摘要

Systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure increase continuously throughout adult life and the prevalence of arterial hypertension rises accordingly, reaching 53-78% among those aged 65-74 years. Estimates of the prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension in the elderly range from 34-65%, with more women than men affected. It has been shown that within all age groups a difference in usual systolic blood pressure of 20mm Hg or a difference in usual diastolic blood pressure of 10mm Hg is associated with an approximately 2-fold difference in the risk of dying from stroke or ischaemic heart disease. Intervention trials using predominantly diuretics and/or beta-adrenoceptor antagonists have proven the efficacy and tolerability of antihypertensive treatment in elderly patients.For many years there have been ongoing discussions about the safety of calcium channel antagonists, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus. However, according to a recently published large prospective, randomised, double-blind, controlled clinical trial with more than 33 000 patients enrolled, no indications for increased total mortality, cancer rate or gastrointestinal bleeding for participants on amlodipine, a long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist, were found. With calcium channel antagonists, protective effects against cardiovascular disease have been proven in large trials with elderly patients, particularly against stroke. There is good evidence to suggest that calcium channel antagonists may be superior to other antihypertensive agents in diabetic patients with isolated systolic hypertension. These agents are well tolerated and probably delay the progression of dementia. The lack of adverse metabolic effects that, in the case of a diuretic-based regimen, may have important long-term implications concerning cardiovascular risk, make calcium channel antagonists an attractive choice when antihypertensive treatment decisions need to be made in a predominantly overweight or obese elderly population.
