Many elderly patients have hypertension, although it is more likely to go untreated in this population. Treatment goals are the same in elderly patients as in younger patients, but elderly patients are more likely to have multiple comorbidities, which must be factored into treatment plans. This article highlights the unique challenges in treating this population.
