Improving Recognition of Hypercortisolism in Patients with Hypertension and Cardiovascular Diseases

In this episode, ‘The Challenge of Resistant Hypertension,’ features the panelists discussing persistent barriers to blood pressure control, evolving hypertension management strategies, and the importance of recognizing secondary causes of resistant hypertension. They also explore how missed opportunities for diagnosis may contribute to ongoing cardiovascular risk in clinical practice.

In, ‘Hypercortisolism as a Driver of Hypertension and Cardiovascular Risk’, panelists will continue their discussion on hypercortisolism and highlight how cortisol excess can contribute to hypertension and cardiovascular risk even in the absence of classic Cushing syndrome features. They also explore emerging evidence linking hypercortisolism to adverse cardiometabolic outcomes and the implications for cardiovascular practice.
