Abstract
This is not the time to modify a HTN regimen. Intensifying hypertension regimens at discharge increases risk in older patients. PRACTICE CHANGER: Avoid intensifying antihypertensive medication regimens at hospital discharge in older adults; making such changes increases the risk of serious adverse events (SAEs) and hospital readmission within 30 days without reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular events at 1 year post discharge. STRENGTH OF RECOMMENDATION: B: Based on a large retrospective cohort study evaluating patient-oriented outcomes.
