Abstract
On December 6, 2024, an Expert Council meeting was held in St. Petersburg on the problem of diagnosis and treatment of resistant hypertension (HTN). The importance of timely detection and treatment of patients with resistant hypertension is determined by a higher risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure and cardiovascular mortality compared to patients with uncontrolled HTN. The experts discussed the existing evidence base on a new class of aldosterone synthase inhibitors, in particular the baxdrostat.
