8 Hypertension Research Recaps for Primary Care
New hypertension research looks at stress hormones in early disease, the Quadpill as first Rx, tight BP control for older adults--for a start. We recap 8 new studies.
Hypertension was included as a primary or contributing cause in nearly half a million deaths in the US in 2018, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The 8 recent studies summarized in the slides below are an excellent reflection of the breadth of research into all aspects of hypertension and its treatment.
