One of the unresolved geriatric problems in neuropharmacology remains the lack of specifically designed drugs and therapeutic and preventive measures for older adults with hypertension and/or stroke. In particular, there are no standards for virtual geriatric patients aged 65–70 years, 70–90 years, and over 90 years, as well as courses of pharmacotherapy for diseases in them. The fact is that modern drugs and standards of their use in the treatment of diseases are still traditionally focused on a virtual object, which represents a person of mature age weighing about 70 kg. Therefore, it is proposed to develop clinical standards appropriate for three groups of geriatric patients. The main characteristics of health status, hypertension and rehabilitation of elderly people after a stroke, as well as the peculiarities of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of drugs are given. It is hoped that the use of such virtual targets will optimize the adjustment of treatment of hypertension and stroke in elderly people and will reduce drug complications and polypragmasy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
