Visión de evaluación y manejo en la Era post SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial)
La hipertensión arterial es el principal factor de riesgo para muerte prematura e invalidez – años de vida ajustados en el mundo. El desarrollo de una gran base farmacológica para el manejo de estos pacientes como demuestran los ensayos ha cambiado satisfactoriamente sus expectativas. Ver más….

Severe hypertension (systolic blood pressure (BP) greater than or equal to160?mm?Hg) resistant to treatment with multiple antihypertensive medications, poses a serious challenge to therapeutic treatment. Catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) is being increasingly proposed and researched as a safe and effective method of treating this condition.

Resistant hypertension as defined by the European Society of Hypertension and American Heart Association is a blood pressure that remains uncontrolled despite concomitant intake of at least three antihypertensive drugs (one of them preferably being a diuretic) at full doses. This definition is still based on office rather than out-of-office blood pressure measurement. In this review we propose a new, stricter definition of resistant hypertension based on ambulatory blood pressure measurement.
