Beyond control

Resistant arterial hypertension is considered a chronic non-communicable disease and has been described over the years as an important risk factor for the development of Chronic Kidney Disease, which in turn is considered a primary cause of cardiovascular disease; Currently, resistant arterial hypertension is defined as the presence of blood pressure in ranges greater than or equal to 140/90mm Hg, uncontrolled despite the use of three pharmacological groups of antihypertensive drugs at maximum doses. This book aims to identify the prevalence of those patients with a diagnosis of resistant arterial hypertension, as well as to characterize and describe the demographic and clinical factors to establish their association with resistant arterial hypertension and its behavior in end-stage renal disease.Dedicated to the curious, persistent and courageous minds that with their silent work build day by day the foundations of medical knowledge.To those who transform doubt into method, observation into discovery, uncertainty into an opportunity to learn and heal.
