To date, there is little multi center data on the management of patients in HTN centers. Elevated blood pressure is the leading global risk factor for death and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes, myocardial infarctions, heart failure leading to hospitalization, and end-stage renal disease. After a one-year pilot with two sites, this study plans to expand to additional sites to build a national registry for resistant hypertension research.
This collaborative, prospective study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of resistant hypertension management, including the use of novel drugs with the aim of defining an ideal patient profile that would benefit from various 4th-line antihypertensive therapies, including, but not limited to, aprocitentan, renal denervation, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, etc.
