Radcliffe Medical Education is hosting a symposium entitled 'Unlocking the Challenges of Uncontrolled Hypertension' at the 33rd European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Renal Protection (ESH 2024), held in Berlin at the Estrel Congress Centre (ECC) on Saturday 01 June 2024 at 14.15 - 15.15 CEST.

Overview

The long term clinical implications of uncontrolled hypertension are well documented, but almost half of those with hypertension remain inadequately treated. In this symposium, we will assess why this is as we ask three leading hypertension experts, Prof Thomas Weber, Prof Bryan Williams and Prof Erika Jones, to examine the current state of medical therapy, the barriers to optimal treatment and the underlying mechanisms driving uncontrolled hypertension, including the pivotal role played by aldosterone.

Individuals participating in this session will leave with a comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiology and the current and future treatment landscape through an immersive, case-based symposium.  
 

Learning Objectives 

• Describe the long-term clinical impact of uncontrolled hypertension
• Apply guideline-directed management to a patient case study
• Evaluate the challenges and limitations of current management options for uncontrolled hypertension
• Describe the role of aldosterone in uncontrolled hypertension 

This symposium is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca who had no involvement in the content.
