Resistant & Refractory Hypertension: 9 Questions for Primary Care
How are you managing your patients with resistant or refractory hypertension? How do your strategies align with current guidelines? Try these 9 questions and find out.
This quiz poses questions for primary care professionals on treating a condition defined by its resistance to prior treatment. Among the patients you see every day, the prevalence of hypertension is increasing with age. Estimates are that approximately 7% of US young adults aged 18–39 have hypertension. The prevalence increases more than 9-fold to 65% among those aged 60 and over. In your panel, are there individuals with persistent uncontrolled hypertension?
The questions are based on a Patient Care Guideline Topline that summarizes a review on assessment and management of resistant and refractory hypertension published in The American Journal of Medicine. Try the quiz first, then click through the Topline for a quick update.
