Panelists discuss how the endothelin pathway critically regulates blood pressure and vascular health through the interplay between vasodilators and vasoconstrictors such as endothelin-1, representing a key mechanism in hypertension pathophysiology.

Panelists discuss how resistant hypertension management requires a structured approach combining lifestyle modifications, optimal doses of multiple drug classes, and the identification of underlying causes such as sleep apnea.

Panelists discuss how antihypertensive treatment encompasses multiple drug classes with distinct mechanisms of action, alongside lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes and exercise, providing a comprehensive approach to blood pressure management.

Panelists discuss how traditional antihypertensive medications face challenges including adverse reactions, complex dosing regimens, and variable efficacy across different patient populations, which can limit their therapeutic success.

Panelists discuss how poor medication adherence and comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) contribute to uncontrolled hypertension despite the availability of numerous treatment options, highlighting key challenges in achieving effective blood pressure management.
