Characteristics and comprehensive treatment of hypertension in the elderly

高血压病是老年人最常见的慢性疾病之一,也是心脑血管疾病的高危因素之一。这是由于老年患者随着年龄的增长,自身免疫力和器官敏感度下降,相比其他年龄段的高血压更难治疗。由于我国高血压的患病率日趋增加,其结果严重影响老年人的生活质量及身心健康,并成为老年人致死、致残的重要原因。因此根据患者的实际情况及临床表现,建议联合药物对老年高血压进行平稳、有效的治疗,同时减少靶器官的伤害及并发症的发生。随着抗高血压治疗的益处受到越来越多的认识,对提高老年人高血压知晓率、控制率、治疗率有很大的帮助。
