Minireview: Altered Blood Pressure Homeostasis in Advanced Age Clinical and Research Implications
Key result
Aging and hypertension cumulatively impair baroreflex sensitivity and cardiovascular compliance, increasing the risk of hypotensive responses to stress such as orthostatic hypotension.

Implication
May warrant caution for hypotensive responses in aging hypertensives; leaves open multivariate research approaches.

Population
Older adults with altered blood pressure homeostasis and hypertension
Aging and hypertension cumulatively impair blood pressure regulatory mechanisms, increasing the risk of hypotensive responses and necessitating new multivariate approaches to research data analysis.
