Tackling Hypertension Head-On Miniseries (Part 6)
Tackling Hypertension Head-On Miniseries (Part 6): Could your hypertensive patients have a form of high blood pressure that’s often overlooked – but highly treatable? In this essential episode of our ‘Tackling Hypertension Head-on’ miniseries, we unpack primary aldosteronism – a condition that affects up to 1 in 10 patients with hypertension and yet is rarely screened for in general practice.
Despite its prevalence, primary aldosteronism is still considered rare in many textbooks. But the 2024 European Hypertension Guidelines are changing the narrative, now suggesting routine screening for all newly diagnosed hypertensive adults.
This is a must-listen for any GP wanting to stay ahead of the latest guidelines and improve long-term outcomes for patients with high blood pressure.
