Background: This study delves into the intricacies of resistant hypertension (RH), a prevalent yet enigmatic chronic cardiovascular ailment that is linked to a myriad of complications. Although its full pathogenesis is still shrouded in mystery, the field of proteomics offers a beacon of hope, with its potential to shed light on the proteins that orchestrate the tapestry of life. Harnessing the power of proteomics is essential for demystifying the pathogenesis of RH, enabling more precise diagnostics and treatments, and ultimately improving prognostic outcomes.

The Golgi Apparatus (GA) is pivotal in vesicle sorting and protein modifications within cells. Traditionally, the GA has been described as a perinuclear organelle consisting of stacked cisternae forming a ribbon-like structure. Changes in the stacked structure or the canonical perinuclear localization of the GA have been referred to as "GA fragmentation", a term widely employed in the literature to describe changes in GA morphology and distribution.
