Özet

Arterial hypertension is one of the modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease, contributing

to increasing morbidity and mortality rates (Fuchs and Whelton, 2020; Zhou et al.,

2018). Most of the older adult population suffers from arterial hypertension. Numerous

aspects differentiate arterial hypertension in older adults from that in younger patients. Older

adults are more likely to exhibit isolated systolic hypertension, widened pulse pressure, and

orthostatic hypotension due to arterial stiffening and reduced baroreceptor sensitivity

(Whelton et al., 2017; Mancia et al., 2023). Older adults are more prone to hypertension complications

and uncontrolled blood pressure (BP). Managing hypertension in older adults

presents several unique and complex challenges that require careful consideration and a

tailored approach.
