Abstract
Conclusions: Based on the findings of this study, the benefits of treating elderly patients with hypertension in clinical practice may be lower than those reported by HYVET. The study results support the current recommendation that all patients with hypertension should be treated with >1 antihypertensive medication if adequate control is not achieved at low doses of a single medication.
