New Approaches in the Treatment of Hypertension – Circulation Research Compendium on Hypertension (2015) Suzanne Oparil

Description

This compendium review discusses new drugs (like inhibitors of vasopeptidases, aldosterone synthase, and novel mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists) and interventional treatments (including transcatheter renal denervation and baroreflex activation therapy) undergoing preclinical or clinical testing. The aim is to address the unmet need of controlling blood pressure in patients with hypertension, which is the most common modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death.
