Arterial hypertension, as a very widespread chronic disease, and thus differing in both pathomechanism and course in patients, requires a significant individualization of pharmacotherapy. One such special group is the elderly. Both the low-renin pathomechanism of arterial hypertension and its phenotype (isolated systolic hypertension) imply the choice of a specific pharmacotherapy. Additionally, in this group, side effects should be observed much more vigilantly, while target blood pressure values should be treated more liberally. An example of antihypertensive therapy in a patient belonging to the group described is presented in the following case.
