Key result
Isolated diastolic hypertension does not require treatment in young patients due to low cardiovascular risk, but treatment should be individualized in elderly patients to maintain diastolic blood pressure above 70 mmHg.
Why the study?
Does antihypertensive treatment improve outcomes in patients with isolated diastolic hypertension?
Does antihypertensive treatment improve outcomes in patients with isolated diastolic hypertension?
In isolated diastolic hypertension, treatment is generally not recommended for young patients, whereas in elderly patients it should be individualized with a diastolic blood pressure target of 70-80 mmHg to avoid hypoperfusion.

Husnu et al. (2020) conducted a review in Isolated diastolic hypertension. Blood pressure management was evaluated. Isolated diastolic hypertension does not require treatment in young patients due to low cardiovascular risk, but treatment should be individualized in elderly patients to maintain diastolic blood pressure above 70 mmHg.
