A growing number of people suffer from so-called resistant
hypertension, that is to say, high blood pressure that does not
respond to treatment. This disorder is of great current interest
and importance for public health, being a common clinical problem
faced by both primary care clinicians and specialists. Furthermore,
as older age and obesity are among the strongest risk factors for
uncontrolled hypertension, the incidence of resistant hypertension
will likely increase as the population becomes more elderly and
heavier. While the prognosis of resistant hypertension is unknown,
cardiovascular risk is undoubtedly increased since patients often
have a history of long-standing, severe hypertension complicated by
multiple other cardiovascular risk factors. This volume, compiled
by a panel of world-renowned experts, offers a comprehensive
exploration of resistant hypertension, covering epidemiology,
complex diagnostic aspects, and the therapeutic options currently
available, with due attention to overall treatment strategies. New
therapeutic agents and procedures, such as renal denervation and
baroreceptor stimulation, are also described. In addition, the book
addresses the economic aspects of resistant hypertension and the
role of the different professional figures, from GPs to
hypertension specialists, in dealing with it.
