Article Synopsis
- Hypertension affects about 36 million Brazilians, with 10%-20% of those diagnosed having resistant hypertension, which can lead to serious health complications.
- A study in a specialized clinic found that 31.7% of 104 patients had resistant hypertension; this group was predominantly female and had higher instances of diabetes and dyslipidemia.
- The study suggests that the higher prevalence of resistant hypertension may be linked to the demographic makeup of the population, especially the significant percentage of black and brown patients.
