Screening and targeted use of MRA may lead to improved blood pressure control and outcomes among patients with RH.PMID:38009955 | DOI:10.7812/TPP/23.096 (Source: The Permanente journal)

Nothing About Patients Without Patients: More Than Just a Catchphrase!
Perm J. 2023 Nov 6:1-5. doi: 10.7812/TPP/23.103.
