Sinnott SJ, et al. - The incidence and prevalence of resistant hypertension among a UK population treated for hypertension from 1995 to 2015 are estimated in this study. Prevalent resistant hypertension has plateaued and reduced in recent years, consistent with a decrease in incidence from 2004 onwards. Despite this, resistant hypertension is common in the UK hypertensive population. Given the significance of hypertension as a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, decreasing uncontrolled hypertension ought to remain a population health focus.
