Hypertensie die slecht op behandeling reageert

De Jager RL, Rutten FH,Bots ML, Spiering W, Blankestijn PJ. Treatment-resistant hypertension. Huisarts Wet 2016;59(1):24-6. At least 65% of the patients with hypertension do not achieve the target blood pressure of <140/90 mmHg. A patient is considered to have treatment-resistant hypertension if other causes of poorly controlled blood pressure have been excluded, such as non-adherence, secondary causes, and the white coat effect. If there is evidence of a secondary cause or treatment-resistant hypertension, the patient can be referred to a hypertension specialist. In addition, some patients with treatment-resistant hypertension may benefit from new, experimental treatments, such as renal denervation or baroreflex activation therapy.
