The European Society of Cardiology
(ESC) guidelines defined resistant
hypertension as the failure to achieve BP
‘control’ to levels below 140/90mm Hg
despite treatment with three antihypertensive
medications with complementary
mechanisms of action (with at least one
diuretic).
The American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines adopted an extended definition to also include patients with four or more antihypertensive medications, even when BP was controlled.
