Cardiology CME Series

Introduction

Hypertension is a leading contributor to heart failure and a significant global health concern, characterized by complex epidemiology, pathophysiology, and various risk factors. Early diagnosis and effective risk stratification are vital to prevent hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD) and mitigate long-term complications. This CME series will provide a comprehensive overview of hypertension management, emphasizing a tailored approach for special populations, including pregnant women, patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), older adults, athletes, and those with heart failure. By addressing these unique challenges, healthcare providers can improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden of hypertension-related complications.
