Estudio PATHWAY-2. La visión del médico de familia en el abordaje de la hipertensión arterial resistente

Resistant hypertension is a relatively prevalent condition in primary care that exceeds 7% of patients with hypertension assisted in the office and that implies a high cardiovascular risk due to its association with cardiovascular events. The PATHWAY-2 study has allowed to establish that spironolactone is the best possible alternative in the fourth line of treatment for most patients. It significantly simplifies the approach of these patients for primary care physicians.
