Effects of Calcium-Channel Blockade in Older Patients with Diabetes and Systolic Hypertension

Abstract

Nitrendipine-based antihypertensive therapy is particularly beneficial in older patients with diabetes and isolated systolic hypertension. Thus, our findings do not support the hypothesis that the use of long-acting calcium-channel blockers may be harmful in diabetic patients.
