Overview
The long term clinical implications of uncontrolled hypertension are well documented, but almost half of those with hypertension remain inadequately treated. In this symposium, our panel of three leading hypertension experts, Prof Thomas Weber (Klinikum Wels-Grieskirchen, Wels, AT), Prof Bryan Williams (University College London, London, UK) and Prof Erika Jones (University of Cape Town, Cape Town, SA), examine the current state of medical therapy, the barriers to optimal treatment and the underlying mechanisms driving uncontrolled hypertension, including the pivotal role played by aldosterone.
Presented, and recorded, at ESH 2024, in Berlin, DE.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the long-term clinical impact of uncontrolled hypertension
- Apply guideline-directed management to a patient case study
- Evaluate the challenges and limitations of current management options for uncontrolled hypertension
- Describe the role of aldosterone in uncontrolled hypertension
Target Audience
- Hypertension (Htn) Specialists
- Cardiologists / Internists
