    ACE Inhibitors or ARBs?

    If you’ve been told “it’s just hard to control,” this conversation will change how you see hypertension. 👉 Listen now. Uncontrolled BP is a clue not a conclusion. 🎯 When Blood Pressure Won’t Come Down, Something Is Being Missed. This podcast uncovers the real reasons hypertension stays uncontrolled, even with multiple medications. We challenge blame, oversimplification, and guideline-only thinking—asking better questions so patients and clinicians get better answers.

    Are You Making These Blood Pressure Mistakes?

    Are You Making These Blood Pressure Mistakes? Welcome to the Hypertension Resistant to Treatment Podcast! Initially, our goal was to empower individuals to effectively manage their blood pressure with the help of healthcare professionals. However, our focus has evolved to prioritize supporting healthcare providers, particularly nurse practitioners (NPs), recognizing their crucial role in patient outcomes.   We emphasize the importance of equipping healthcare providers with the necessary tools and knowledge to help patients achieve reasonable blood pressure control. Thank you for joining us on this journey toward improved hypertension management. This podcast offers a mixture of informative and inspirational content. The Hypertension Resistant to Treatment podcast is hosted by Dr. Tonya Breaux-Shropshire, PhD, DNP, MPH, FNP-C. Of note, according to the AACN, fewer than 1% of U.S. nurses hold a doctoral degree, with most having a DNP rather than a PhD. This highlights the rarity of both degrees, though DNPs are significantly more common than PhDs.
