Resistant hypertension: patient characteristics, risk factors, co-morbidities and outcomes

Riesgo cardiovascularPor: A Oliveras y A de la Sierra.  Journal of Human Hypertension (2014) 28, 213–217.

Among the vast population of hypertensive subjects, between 10 and 15% do not achieve an adequate blood pressure (BP) control despite the use of at least three antihypertensive agents. This group, designated as having resistant hypertension (RH), represents one of the most important clinical challenges in hypertension evaluation and management. Resistant hypertensives are characterized by several clinical particularities, such as a longer history of hypertension, obesity and other accompanying factors, such as diabetes, left ventricular hypertrophy, albuminuria and renal dysfunction.
