A 36 year old woman with “difficult-to-treat” hypertension: Endocrine or resistant hypertension?
A thirty six year old Emirati female who had had hypertension for 5 years is presented. Her blood pressure has been consistently above 160/110 mmHg, despite being treated with more than 5 antihypertensive drugs. Work up for secondary hypertension was repeatedly negative locally and at two world-renowned endocrine units in London. Ultimately, she underwent “catheter guided renal sympathectomy”, which resulted in good blood pressure control readily achievable on single antihypertensive agent. The diagnostic and management challenges of the case are presented and the efficacy of the therapeutic procedure in treating resistant hypertension is discussed. We also appraise the evidence-base for potential place of this procedure in the current guidelines for management of hypertension.
