to receive CME credit for viewing this program, visit https://reachmd.com/programs/cme/aldo... * In this symposium, the role of aldosterone dysregulation in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular, endocrine, and renal diseases will be explained. Evidence with currently available MRAs for the treatment of uncontrolled and resistant hypertension will be interpreted. The rationale for development of highly selective ASIs will be described, and emerging data with ASIs for the treatment of hypertension discussed. Educational Objectives: Describe the role of aldosterone dysregulation in uncontrolled hypertension and poor cardiorenal outcomes Explain the evidence with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) for the treatment of uncontrolled and resistant hypertension Interpret results of studies with aldosterone synthase inhibitors (ASIs) for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension CHAIR Jamie P.
