Abstract
Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), a subtype of hypertension, is experienced by more than 40% of adults with untreated hypertension.1-3 Among those who do receive treatment, control of systolic blood pressure (SBP) is particularly challenging compared with control of diastolic blood pressure (DBP), making ISH the most common subtype of hypertension among patients with uncontrolled hypertension.4-7 Isolated systolic hypertension is a well-studied condition that has received attention across various hypertension guidelines. However, ISH is disproportionately found in older adults, and many of the disease management recommendations are based on studies and data of older individuals.1,8-13Keywords
