Predictors of blood pressure control in patients with resistant hypertension after intensive management in two expert centres: the Brussels-Torino experience.

Conclusions: Even in expert centres, only a minority of patients with RHTN reached BP control, irrespective of the centre involved or the interventions applied. Patients who eventually responded to therapy had lower arterial stiffness and less cardiac organ damage. Furthermore, besides vascular damage, the single predictor of BP control was the ability to modify the emotional impact of stressful situations. PMID: 31257937 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
