The paper analyses in detail the problems of blood pressure (BP) control and treatment in elderly people, who represent one of the most vulnerable categories of patients in terms of cardiovascular diseases. The incidence of arterial hypertension increases due to natural ageing processes such as decreased vascular elasticity, increased arterial stiffness and progression of atherosclerosis. The authors emphasise that these changes in the body require special attention from physicians when developing BP control strategies, as standard methods used in younger patients may be ineffective or even dangerous in the elderly. This study also examines key physiological aspects of ageing that affect blood pressure regulation. Particular attention is paid to path physiological changes such as decreased renal function, altered sodium sensitivity, deterioration of bar reflexes and changes in endocrine function. These factors complicate BP control and may require adjustments in both dosage and drug selection. The authors focus on the importance of an individualized approach to the treatment of elderly patients with arterial hypertension. They discuss non-medication methods such as lifestyle modification, dietary intervention (reduced salt intake, increased potassium intake, Mediterranean diet), increased physical activity and body weight control. These measures play an important role in the primary prevention and comprehensive treatment of hypertension. The authors of the paper give modern recommendations on target blood pressure levels for the elderly, taking into account the latest clinical studies, and also determine the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the management of elderly patients with hypertension, which includes close cooperation between therapists, cardiologists, nephrologists and gerontologists.
