Abstract

The Padua ESH 2011 Satellite Symposium on uncontrolled hypertension was focused on why only a relatively small percentage of patients under treatment do not reach ‘safe’ blood pressure levels; the major reason being the modest use of combination therapy. It was also an occasion to discuss new pharmacological and nonpharmacological tools, some of which appear to be efficacious when even the ‘appropriate’ traditional therapeutic strategy fails to work.
