Abstract
At the end of April 2025 an expert council meeting was held, devoted to the discussion of the uncontrolled blood pressure, role of aldosterone dysregulation in pathogenesis of uncontrolled and resistant hypertension, and new therapeutic options targeting aldosterone- aldosterone synthase inhibitors.
