Following a hypertension symposium in San Francisco in September 2007, an expert panel was convened to discuss the treatment of hypertension in the elderly. Based on recent data, new recommendations may be indicated. The session was moderated by Marvin Moser, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine at Yale University, New Haven, CT. Participants were William Cushman, MD, Professor of Preventive Medicine and Medicine at the University of Tennessee in Memphis, and Michael Ziegler, MD, Professor of Medicine, University of California at San Diego. The discussion was supported by Novartis Pharmaceuticals and Merck & Company, and each author received an honorarium from Novartis Pharmaceuticals and Merck & Company for time and effort spent participating in the discussion and reviewing the transcript for intellectual content before publication. The authors maintained full control of the discussion and the resulting content of this article. |
