AI Article Synopsis

  • People with resistant hypertension (RH) face a greater risk of serious heart-related issues, prompting the British and Irish Hypertension Society to recommend specialist guidance for better blood pressure control.
  • The position statement offers a practical framework for diagnosing and managing adults with RH, while also addressing the current evidence gaps in the field.
  • The overall goal is to enhance the quality and consistency of care for individuals with RH throughout the UK and Ireland.

Article Abstract

People living with resistant hypertension (RH) are at high risk of adverse cardiovascular events. The British and Irish Hypertension Society has identified suspected RH as a condition for which specialist guidance may improve rates of blood pressure control and help clinicians identify those individuals who may benefit from specialist review. In this position statement we provide a practical approach for the investigation and management of adults with RH. We highlight gaps in the current evidence and identify important future research questions. Our aim is to support the delivery of high-quality and consistent care to people living with RH across the UK and Ireland.
