About this trial
An estimated 120 million people have high blood pressure (hypertension) in the US, of which approximately 10% have resistant hypertension. This study aims to enroll patients who continue to have hypertension while being treated with at least two medications. The study will follow patients for approximately 3 months and collect real-world information on changes in their health to identify an ideal patient profile that would benefit from 4th-line antihypertensive therapies, including, but not limited to, FDA-approved aprocitentan, renal denervation, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, etc.

Trial population
The study population will include 100 patients with inadequately controlled blood pressure despite the use of two therapies.
