Key result
Hospitalization for apparent resistant hypertension achieves BP control in ~5 days, confirming medication nonadherence.
Why the study?
Poor adherence to antihypertensive treatment is a common cause of pseudoresistant hypertension and requires thorough investigation for proper blood pressure management.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the importance of investigating medication nonadherence as a cause of pseudoresistant hypertension before escalating therapy.

Zanatta et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Pseudoresistant hypertension (n=1). Hospitalization and supervised medication administration was evaluated on Blood pressure control. Hospitalization of a patient with apparent resistant hypertension on seven drugs resulted in blood pressure control within 5 days using the same medications, confirming nonadherence.
