Key Points

To synthesize therapeutic developments in hypertension management over the past 5 years and evaluate their clinical implications.
Synthesized evidence from high-quality systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and contemporary clinical guidelines published over the past 5 years.
Evaluated nonpharmacologic strategies, novel pharmacological classes, catheter-based interventions, and digital health tools.
Dietary sodium reduction demonstrated a near-linear relationship with blood pressure reduction, while DASH and Mediterranean diets provided additional blood pressure lowering in high normal or stage 1 hypertension.
Novel pharmacotherapies, including RNA-silencing therapeutics, aldosterone synthase inhibitors, and the FDA-approved endothelin receptor antagonist aprocitentan, expand treatment options for uncontrolled phenotypes.
Catheter-based renal denervation achieved modest, consistent reductions in 24-hour ambulatory and office blood pressure in sham-controlled trials, though roughly one-third of treated patients failed to achieve a 5 mmHg ambulatory systolic reduction.
