  • Title: [Obstructive sleep apnea and drugs as causes of treatment-resistant hypertension].
    Author: Waeber B, Feihl F.
    Journal: Rev Med Suisse; 2012 Jan 11; 8(323):28-30. PubMed ID: 22303736.
    Abstract:
    Treatment-resistant hypertension is still common despite the availability of several types of antihypertensive agents acting by different mechanisms. The existence of refractory hypertension should lead to rule out "white-coat hypertension", poor adherence to prescribed drugs as well as classical causes of secondary hypertension such as renal artery stenosis, primary aldosteronism, pheochromocytoma and renal disease. It is also important to consider the possible existence of obstructive sleep apnea or the regular intake of vasopressive drugs or substances.
