Abstract P256: Structural Alterations of Subcutaneous Small Resistance Arteries in Resistant Hypertension [Session Title: Vascular Remodeling and Dysfunction/Endothelin Factors]

Conclusion: Hypertensive patients with true resistant hypertension have greater microvascular structural alterations compared with non-resistant hypertensive patients. This could partly explain the resistance to treatment and the high cardiovascular risk observed in these patients.
