Advancing Hypertension Management: Unmet Needs, Endothelial Dysfunction, and CKD Therapies

Traditional antihypertensive drugs face several limitations, including variable patient response, side effects, and adherence challenges. These medications often require lifelong administration, which can lead to compliance issues. Additionally, they may not adequately address the underlying pathophysiology of hypertension, focusing instead on symptom management. The potential for drug interactions and the need for individualized treatment plans further complicate their use. As a result, there is a growing interest in developing novel therapeutic approaches that target the root causes of hypertension and offer more personalized treatment options.

Panelists discuss how traditional antihypertensive medications face challenges including adverse reactions, complex dosing regimens, and variable efficacy across different patient populations, which can limit their therapeutic success.
