Does elderly hypertension have specific characteristics?
Characteristics of Hypertension in the Elderly
Increased
Systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure
Left ventricular mass and wall thickness
Arterial stiffness
Calculated total peripheral resistance
Decreased
Cardiac output and heart rate
Renal blood flow, plasma renin activity, and angiotensin II levels
Arterial compliance and blood volume

• Palpable sclerotic radial artery above systolic level: pseudohypertension?
• Prevalence 7.2% in 3387 SHEP patients
• More frequent self report of stroke
• Significant intra-observer variability
• Intra-arterial BP variability
Do lifestyle measures really work for elderly hypertension?

Barriers to Optimal Control of Hypertension
Inaccurate measurement of blood pressure (BP)
Focusing on diastolic BP rather than systolic BP goal
Failure to consider absolute global risk
Failure to advocate lifestyle modifications
Failure to use polypharmacy
Failure to use effective drug combinations
Failure to titrate doses upward
Fear of reaching excessively low diastolic BP
The patient with truly resistant hypertension

Thiazide Myths
• Sulfa cross reactivity
• Gout
• Renal stones
Thiazide Related Gout
• Thiazide related hyperuricemia is dose related
• HDFP Trial: 15 episodes of gout over 5 years in 3693 patients treated with chlorthalidone 25-100mg (equivalent to 50-200 mg HCTZ)
• Low dose thiazide (HCTZ 12.5-25 mg) is not contraindicated in gout
Thiazide Myths Exposed
• Significant cross reactivity with sulfa antibiotics has not been demonstrated; sulfa allergic patients have the same mildly increased reactivity to penicillin and thiazide (NEJM 2003;349:1628-35); thiazide can be administered to patients with sulfa allergy
• Thiazide is first line treatment for calcium kidney stones due to
idiopathic hypercalciuria and also treats idiopathic calcium lithiasis; avoid thiazide with hyperparathyroidism (raises serum Ca)
Treatment Recommendations for the Elderly in JNC 7
Recommendations are no different according to age for:
BP classification
BP goals
Lifestyle interventions
Selection of medications
