    Journal: Aust Fam Physician; 1980 Apr; 9(4):257-9, 262. PubMed ID: 6102857.
    Abstract:
    Hypertension in older patients results from changes in the arterial tree. There should be positive indications for treatment and the drugs used should be free from undesirable side effects, especially postural hypotension. Very old people with hypertension rarely require medication.
