Hypertension is the single largest global contributor to disability-adjusted life years lost [1]. The majority of the population aged over 60 years have hypertension [2], and it has been suggested that they may be at increased risk from the effects of COVID-19. Despite this, and perhaps due to its ubiquity in the older population, current UK Government guidance does not identify people with hypertension as ʻat risk’[3], however, other bodies such as the British Heart Foundation and the Health Service Executive in Ireland do [4, 5]. This article seeks to summarise and interpret the current evidence for and against an increase in COVID-19 risk and severity for those with raised blood pressure, and discusses the implications for the choice of antihypertensive treatment.Early small case series did not indicate an excess of hypertension in people admitted to hospital with COVID-19 [6]. The Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Emergency Response Epidemiology Team published a large case series from China; they found an overall case fatality rate of 2.3%(1023 of 44,672 confirmed cases), which increased to 6.0% for people with hypertension [7]. These data were reported without adjustment for age. Both COVID-19 case fatality rates and hypertension prevalence increase with age, reaching 8.0% and over 50% respectively for the 70–79
