    Journal: Nihon Rinsho; 2005 Jun; 63(6):1078-85. PubMed ID: 15948394.
    Abstract:
    Considerable evidence of the usefulness of antihypertensive therapy in elderly hypertensive patients has been shown by the clinical intervention studies in western countries, using diuretics, beta-blockers, Ca antagonist, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers. Only two intervention studies on elderly hypertensive patients, which are NICS-EH and JATE, have been reported in Japan. Several Japanese intervention studies, such as JATOS, COPE, CASE-J, HOMED-BP and VALISH which conducted recently will provide us with new evidence in elderly hypertensive patients. We summarize the content of intervention studies on elderly hypertensive patients in western countries and Japan.
