Medical condition this application addresses
Despite adherence to multiple anti-hypertensive medications, a subset of patients with hypertension (HTN) will continue to experience elevated, uncontrolled blood pressure.

Treatment resistant hypertension is also used to describe patients whose BP is controlled but require ≥4 antihypertensive medications.
