UU Lowering blood pressure reduces risk of a range of longterm consequences, this benefit is still evident in the elderly. UU Less aggressive control of blood pressure in the elderly gives results equivalent to those achieved with more aggressive control. UU Low blood pressure may be associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the elderly. UU Patients being treated for hypertension are more likely to fall if they have proven postural hypotension. UU Adverse effects of many antihypertensive agents are likely to be more common in the elderly. UU Withdrawal of antihypertensives should be gradual.
CONTEXT This guide considers the use of antihypertensive medications in the treatment of hypertension.
RECOMMENDED DEPRESCRIBING STRATEGY UU Many patients are receiving multiple agents that lower blood pressure.
Reduction and cessation strategies should focus on one agent at a time. UU Reduction or cessation of antihypertensive agents should be considered: [[ In frail elderly and/or immobile patients [[ In patients with a high falls risk [[ In patients with confirmed postural hypotension (>20mmHg fall in
systolic on standing, and/or >10mmHg fall in diastolic on standing)
EFFICACY Multiple studies have shown increased morbidity and mortality in patients with hypertension, with reduction in morbidity and mortality with appropriate treatment of the hypertension. With increasing age, however, the relative benefit of lowering blood pressure is attenuated. In 2002, Lewington et al published data from over 1 million adults from 61 studies on the associations between Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) and mortality from stroke and coronary heart disease by age. The associations between both SBP and DBP and mortality from stroke, coronary heart disease and other vascular disease were graded and continuous with the lowest risk at SBP of 115 mmHg and DBP of 75 mmHg (lower BP levels were not reported) and the highest risk at SBP of 175 mmHg and DBP of 105 mmHg (higher levels were not reported). However, these associations were weaker at older age (see Figure 1 on page 2). 1 Trials of hypertension management in the elderly are limited and were reviewed by Fleg et al2 in 2011 and by Muntner et al3 in 2014. Of 12 studies reviewed by Fleg, five showed statistically significant reductions in cardiovascular events. All five studies showed a relative risk reduction of stroke between 23 and 57%, where starting BP was between 169 and 185mmHg systolic.

Muntner’s article reviews three other papers that targeted intensive vs more lenient systolic blood pressure control in older patients: UU A Japanese study of 4418 patients aged 65-84 years compared tight vs lenient control of blood pressure
on outcomes. One group achieved 136/75 on average while the other 146/78. Over 2 years of follow-up, there were no differences in the primary composite outcome of cardiovascular disease or renal failure.4 UU The Valsartan in the Elderly with Isolated Systolic Hypertension (VALISH) study found no difference in
70-84 year olds that achieved 137 vs 142 systolic BPs in terms of stroke, sudden death or myocardial infarction frequency.5 UU An Italian study of 1111 patients with a mean age of 67 years randomised patients to tight (
