How to control resistant hypertension, the rebellious form of high BP
GeneralResistant hypertension is a condition where blood pressure remains persistently elevated despite treatment with three or more antihypertensive medications. Complications of resistant hypertension include an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes, aortic aneurysms, and peripheral artery disease. It can also damage vital organs like the heart, kidneys, and eyes, contributing to heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and vision problems. Lifestyle factors such as a high-sodium diet, lack of physical activity, excessive alcohol intake, and obesity can make controlling blood pressure more difficult.
