Optimizing systolic blood pressure targets for elderly hypertensive patients: a meta-analysis of mortality, cardiovascular outcomes, and adverse events
In elderly hypertensive patients, lower SBP targets correlate with improved clinical outcomes, including reduced mortality and cardiovascular events. Nonetheless, the heightened risk of adverse effects underscores the need for careful, individualized treatment strategies. Additional research is warranted to refine these targets and achieve a balance between therapeutic efficacy and safety.
