Track: Clinical Cardiology & Hypertension
Hypertension affects 1.28 billion adults worldwide and remains the single largest modifiable cardiovascular risk factor, yet global blood pressure control rates remain below 25%. The Hypertension session examines the renal denervation resurgence following SPYRAL and RADIANCE sham-controlled trials, the new drug class of aldosterone synthase inhibitors (lorundrostat, baxdrostat) in resistant hypertension, zilebesiran, an RNA interference antihypertensive agent showing sustained BP reduction from twice-yearly dosing ambulatory BP monitoring in diagnosis, LVH regression strategies in hypertensive heart disease, and the distinct management challenges of hypertension in pregnancy and preeclampsia.
Scope of This Track
From blood pressure targets and combination pharmacotherapy to hypertension in special populations including resistant hypertension, hypertension in pregnancy, and renal considerations this track covers the full clinical spectrum.
Debates & Developments Driving the Field
- Optimal blood pressure targets — revisiting systolic thresholds in the light of SPRINT and STEP trial data
- Resistant hypertension — renal denervation, aldosterone antagonists, and newer agents
- Single-pill combinations — improving adherence and outcomes in routine practice
- Hypertension in chronic kidney disease — managing the cardiorenal continuum
- Hypertension in pregnancy — preeclampsia risk, treatment safety, and long-term cardiovascular sequelae
