Recommendation | Grade of recommendation | Level of evidence |
---|---|---|
SBP ≤ 130 mmHg for elderly patients ≥ age 65, without frailty | I | A |
SBP < 140 mmHg for elderly patients ≤ age 80, without frailty | IIb | C |
For elderly patients > age 80, with initial SBP ≥ 160 mmHg, initial SBP reduction between 150 and 140 mmHg | I | B |
In fragile elderly patients or patients with multiple comorbidities, the therapeutic goal should be individualized, considering risk-benefit ratios | IIa | C |
SBP: systolic blood pressure.
