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

Hypertension management remains challenging due to persistent issues with patient adherence to prescribed antihypertensive regimens. Non-adherence significantly impacts blood pressure control, often leading to suboptimal outcomes. Comorbid conditions, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), further complicate management by necessitating tailored therapeutic approaches and careful monitoring. These complexities underscore the need for personalized treatment plans and enhanced patient education to improve adherence and achieve better blood pressure control. Addressing these challenges is crucial for reducing the burden of uncontrolled hypertension and its associated health risks.

Panelists discuss how poor medication adherence and comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) contribute to uncontrolled hypertension despite the availability of numerous treatment options, highlighting key challenges in achieving effective blood pressure management.
