Calcium Treatment of Essential Hypertension in Elderly Patients Evaluated by 24 H Monitoring

We used 24-h monitoring of blood pressure (BP) to evaluate the effect of calcium supplementation on mild to moderate essential hypertension in elderly hospitalized patients for the first time in a controlled crossover study. The mean systolic and diastolic BP over a period of 24 h declined by 13.6 m...
