Delve into emerging therapies for resistant hypertension in this symposium highlights video. Hear from a multidisciplinary panel of experts discussing the current state of evaluation, diagnosis, and management of resistant hypertension, along with the challenges faced by clinicians. A patient case study and panel discussion provide practical advice for improving patient outcomes within the evolving treatment landscape for a robust and engaging learning experience.
This activity is intended for cardiologists, nephrologists, neurologists, endocrinologists, clinical pharmacists, and other clinicians who evaluate, diagnose, or manage patients with resistant hypertension.
Resistant hypertension (RH) is challenging to treat and is associated with a poor prognosis despite the availability of numerous therapeutic options and detailed guideline recommendations. To address this unmet need, emerging therapies with novel mechanisms of action are being studied and/or have demonstrated their effectiveness in treating RH, with the potential to substantially change future treatment paradigms. To fully realize the potential benefits of these emerging therapies, experts in hypertension from various specialties treating patients with or at risk for RH must understand the challenges that underlie current treatment of RH to formulate effective multispecialty solutions to improve practice now and in the future.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Recognize true resistant hypertension from other types of hypertension, such as apparent resistant hypertension and pseudoresistant hypertension.
- Describe guideline-endorsed strategies for the treatment of resistant hypertension in clinical practice.
- Discuss clinical data and ongoing studies regarding potential practice-changing emerging pharmacologic therapies directed at treating resistant hypertension.
- Describe guideline-endorsed strategies for the treatment of resistant hypertension in clinical practice.
- Discuss clinical data and ongoing studies regarding potential practice-changing emerging pharmacologic therapies directed at treating resistant hypertension.

This educational activity was planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education. Recommendations involving clinical medicine in a continuing medical education (CME/CE) activity must be based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients. All scientific research referred to, reported, or used in CME/CE in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, and analysis.
This CME/CE activity might describe the off-label, investigational, or experimental use of medications and/or devices that may exceed their FDA-approved labeling. Physicians should consult the current manufacturers’ prescribing information for these products. ACHL requires all speakers to disclose that a product is not labeled for the use under discussion.
