Abstract

Arterial hypertension (AH) is a prevalent condition and one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Approximately 20% to 30% of hypertensive patients are unable to achieve adequate blood pressure control, even with the use of three or more medications, including diuretics, thus creating resistance to treatment. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the factors that contribute to this resistance, such as genetic predispositions, uncontrolled comorbidities, insufficient adherence to treatment and environmental variables. New therapeutic approaches are also discussed, such as the combination of neprilysin inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists, as well as interventions such as renal denervation and baroreceptor stimulation. Through a critical review of recent literature, this article offers a detailed overview of advances in the management of resistant hypertension and its clinical implications, proposing ways to optimize therapy and improve clinical outcomes.
