Precise assessment of noncompliance with the antihypertensive therapy in patients with resistant hypertension using toxicological serum analysis

Abstract

We conclude that the evaluation of antihypertensive drugs concentrations is a useful and precise method for assessment of noncompliance in patients with resistant hypertension. This evaluation is useful before starting the diagnostic work-up of secondary forms of hypertension and before assignment patients into protocols with new therapy modalities such as renal denervation.
