[Nicardipine in the therapy of arterial hypertension in elderly patients with the psycho-organic syndrome. Report on the results of the clinical study].
1989
: Elderly hypertensive patients with psycho-organic syndrome were treated with nicardipine (40-60 mg daily) alone or combined with hydrochlorothiazide (30 mg). This treatment led not only to a significant reduction in blood pressure but also to improvement in the score of the scales used for psychogeriatric evaluation (SCAG = Sandoz Geriatric Assessment Scale and HAM-D = Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression). These findings appear to confirm the possibility to consider nicardipine a drug of first choice for the treatment of arterial hypertension in the elderly with psycho-organic syndrome.
