Equally, at the time of the second interim analysis July the relative risk hvet all stroke fatal and non-fatal amongst those receiving active treatment was 0. This may reflect the relative physical well being of the trial population [ 24 ]. In fact, serious adverse events SAEs were observed post-randomization in the placebo group.

Main study findings A double-blind placebo-controlled trial with recruitment centres in 13 countries, HYVET prospectively analyzed data from older adults.

Five-year findings of the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program: Results in patients with diastolic hyvey pressures averaging through mm Hg. The New England Journal of Medicine. Hypertension — treated and untreated.

Five-year findings of the hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program: Thus, the benefit of treatment above 85—90 years of age remains uncertain [ 1819 ]. It is possible that the difference in stroke rates would have reached statistical significance had the trial not been stopped early.

Furthermore, a failure to routinely identify vertebral fractures and difficulties in data collection may be sources of error.

Allowing for all fractures, regardless of whether they were incident, validated fractures or not, resulted in an adjusted HR of 0. Initially blood pressures were sudy with either a mercury sphygmomanometer or a validated automated device, but at the end of the trial a validated automated device was used in the majority of centres [ 13 ]. Those on antihypertensives syudy baseline had their medications stopped prior to placebo run-in. Given the log linear relationship between systolic blood pressure and clinical outcomes, the mortality and morbidity benefits seen in the trial might be a feature of systolic BP control, particularly in ISH, as opposed to achieved systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

The role of blood pressure control in preventing complications of hypertension.

However using these data, a dynamic model of cognition that allowed all outcomes cognitive worsening, stability, improvement or death to be categorized simultaneously was sudy.

The trial steering group also published an analysis evaluating the association of depression with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, all-cause mortality and incident dementia.

The s saw publication of landmark data demonstrating the benefits of anti-hypertensive therapy [ 1 — 3 ]. Abstract Early trials in the field of hypertension focused on adults in their fifties and sixties. However, those who had reached either primary or secondary end points during the main trial apart from myocardial infarction, heart failure and skeletal fracture were excluded.

As a result, it remains unclear whether such benefits persist or diminish over a longer time course and although the inclusion criteria allowed for the enrolment of patients aged between 80 and years, most were 80 to 85 years old mean age; At 2 years there were no significant changes in serum potassium, uric acid, glucose and creatinine between the trial arms [ 13 ].

Results of the pilot study for the hypertension in the very elderly trial. This appeared to detect small differences between the two trial arms, in favour of treatment.

When analyzing the 90 incident, validated fractures 38 in the active group; 52 in the placebo group and adjusting for baseline risk factors, a HR of 0. Whilst these results strengthen the case for early benefit arising from anti-hypertensive therapy in octogenarians, the selective exclusion criteria are questionable. Some have interpreted HYVET as a negative study, since the P value for shudy primary stjdy of stroke did not reach statistical significance.

More recently, additional data from this cohort has been published suggesting that appropriate anti-hypertensive therapy may lead to stduy reduction in incident cognitive impairment and fractures, whilst a 1 year open label extension of the main study confirmed many of the original trial findings.

Treating very elderly hypertensive patients is rewarding: Mortality by race-sex and age. Yet the authors of the meta-analysis noted that a single, randomized controlled trial demonstrating no benefit from anti-hypertensive therapy, in this cohort, would negate the apparent benefits seen across their meta-analysis [ 11 ].

All authors have completed the Unified Competing Interest stkdy at http: Although waist circumference was not reported, hypertensive status hyveh infrequently associated with other features of the metabolic syndrome in the trial population, aside from those subjects who had suffered a prior cardiovascular event [ 17 ]. A meta-analysis of RCT data found that hvet of hypertension in this age group was associated with a statistically significant reduction in major CV events and HF but no reduction no CV mortaltiy and an increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Furthermore, standing and seated BPs post-treatment were equivalent, suggesting that antihypertensive therapy was not associated with orthostatic hypotension [ 13 ]. Thus, social and economic status were not adequately controlled for and reverse causality could not be excluded.
