Managing blood pressure is often difficult in the elderly, not only because of comorbidities, but also due to vascular remodelling and the changes in the renal and endocrine physiology. The structural and functional arterial modifications lead to impaired vessel’s compliance and increased systolic blood pressure (SBP), often with reduction of diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

Abstract

Managing blood pressure is often difficult in the elderly, not only because of comorbidities, but also due to vascular remodelling and the changes in the renal and endocrine physiology. The structural and functional arterial modifications lead to impaired vessel’s compliance and increased systolic blood pressure (SBP), often with reduction of diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
