Figure 2: Management of Suspected Resistant Hypertension.
*Caution if eGFR is 30–45 ml/min/1.73 m2. †Can be used earlier at any step if indicated. Current (green arrows), emerging (orange arrows), and potential (blue arrow) pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies for RH treatment. ACEI = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB = angiotensin receptor blocker; BP = blood pressure; CCB = calcium channel blocker; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; MRA = mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist; RH = resistant hypertension; siRNA = short interfering RNA; T/TL = thiazide/thiazide-like.
