Product Description:
Though it seems illogical to offer treatment to reduce cardiovascular risk factors in those with a limited life expectancy and inappropriate to lower blood pressure in the elderly when it is known that hypertension rises as people get older, studies have shown beyond reasonable doubt that lowering the blood pressure in the elderly reduces morbidity and prolongs life.
