Abstract P309: Long Term Outcomes From A Resistant Hypertension Program

Background: We report 10-year follow up data from a well-established Resistant Hypertension Program. Methods and Results: Between January 2012 and December 2021, there were 976 referrals, of which 357 were excluded, due to non-adherence/no-show. Therefore, demographic and clinical data from 619 patients are summarized in Table 1. Average duration of enrollment was 8.1 months with an average of 4.3 visits. The baseline and final data are shown in Table 2. Despite no weight loss, there were significant reductions in systolic BP (150.2 to 129.5 mmHg, p< 0.05) and diastolic BP (84.8 to 76.3 mmHg, p< 0.05). Average number of antihypertensive medications increased from 1.7 to 3.4, p< 0.05). There data are very similar to those from the first year of the program. Conclusions: Ten-year data from a well-established Resistant Hypertension Program maintained significant blood pressure reductions, similar to results from the first year of program.
