Isolated systolic hypertension in the elderly is elevated systolic blood pressure with normal/low diastolic pressure, due to age-related large-artery stiffening. It is a major cardiovascular risk factor. Treatment: lifestyle modification; low-dose thiazide diuretic or long-acting dihydropyridine CCB; avoid rapid/overly aggressive lowering (diastolic <60-65 mmHg); gradual titration in frail elderly.
