Tackling Resistant Hypertension: Understanding Burden, Biology, and Treatment Opportunities

Resistant hypertension is blood pressure that stays high despite taking three or more medicines, including a diuretic. It raises the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. This study will use NHS records and genetic data to see how common it is, understand its causes, and find existing medicines that could help. A Patient and Public Involvement group will guide the research, making sure it reflects patient needs and produces clear, useful results.
