The percentage of the population which is elderly has been
increasing steadily in many countries in the world; and as this
tendency continues, the question of how to treat the elderly rises
in importance. The problem of how to manage hypertension in the
elderly has become one of the most important issues in the
prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. However, not
many of the cIinical studies performed so far to evaluate the
effects of antihypertensive drug treatment have incIuded the
elderly. Many important problems remain unsolved. How much bene-
ficial effect can be expected from active antihypertensive drug
treatment in the elderly? How can isolated systolic hypertension,
which is fre- quently encountered in the elderly, have better
prognosis when treated? When is drug treatment indicated, to what
level should blood pressure be reduced and maintained in the
e1derly, and how should drugs be selected? The elderly also
frequently bear other medical problems, either re- cognized or
unrecognized, such as mental depression, respiratory problems,
infection, malignant neoplasms, and water and electrolyte im-
balances. The body's ability to eliminate drugs also decreases with
age and necessitates modified dosage. The 12th Scientific Meeting
of the International Society of Hyperten- sion held in Kyoto, Japan
on May 22-26, 1988 incIuded the satelIite symposium. "How Should
Elderly Hypertensive Patients Be Treated?" wh ich focused on the
pathophysiology and outcome of elderly hyperten- sive patients.
