Refractory Hypertension Treatment in Bangalore
Refractory Hypertension (also known as
resistant hypertension) refers to high blood pressure that
remains uncontrolled despite the use of three or more
antihypertensive medications, including a diuretic. This
condition requires expert evaluation to identify underlying
causes and deliver a tailored treatment approach. At our
specialized cardiology center in Bangalore, we offer advanced
diagnostics and personalized care for patients with
difficult-to-control blood pressure.
"Persistent high blood pressure despite medication is not
something to ignore — our goal is to uncover the root cause
and restore safe control."
Dr. Basavaraj Utagi, a leading hypertension
and cardiology expert in Bangalore, provides focused care for
patients with refractory hypertension. Through a combination
of detailed assessment, medication optimization, lifestyle
interventions, and identification of secondary causes, we help
reduce cardiovascular risks and improve long-term outcomes.
What Causes Refractory Hypertension?
-
Non-compliance or Improper Dosage:
Missed doses, improper medication combinations, or
suboptimal drug choices.
-
Secondary Hypertension: Conditions like
kidney disease, sleep apnea, adrenal tumors, or hormonal
disorders.
-
Drug Interactions: Certain
over-the-counter medications or herbal supplements can
interfere with blood pressure control.

obesity, sedentary habits, stress, alcohol, or smoking.

switch of antihypertensive classes to find the most
effective combination.
