Objective: The management of high blood pressure after 80 years is an issue in general practice. In 2008, the HYVET study supported the benefit and security of antithypertensive therapy in that population. In a preliminary study, we compared the characteristics of hypertensive patients over 80 years seen in daily practice to those included in the HYVET study: is the HYVET message transferable to daily practice?
Material And Method: A transversal study was conducted in 2008.
