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

Difficult-to-treat hypertension is a condition where blood pressure remains uncontrolled despite the use of three or more antihypertensive medications, including a diuretic. This condition is distinct from resistant hypertension, which is more common and involves blood pressure that is not controlled with three medications but may not include a diuretic. Difficult-to-treat hypertension is less frequent, affecting a smaller subset of patients with high blood pressure. It often requires a more comprehensive approach, including lifestyle modifications and potential secondary causes evaluation, to achieve optimal management.
