Medical Training AIHypertension Management Study Track
You'll be able to work up and manage hypertension confidently, from correct measurement technique through resistant and secondary cases.
What this track covers
This track covers accurate blood pressure measurement and ambulatory monitoring, cardiovascular risk stratification and target organ damage assessment, and guideline-based drug selection across common patient profiles. It also addresses resistant hypertension and the evaluation of secondary causes, so you can recognize when a standard approach isn't working and what to check next.
What you will practice
- Confirm proper cuff size and positioning before trusting a reading
- Distinguish white-coat, masked, and sustained hypertension using ambulatory or home data
- Match first-line agent classes to compelling indications and comorbidities
- Recognize red flags that warrant secondary hypertension workup
- Adjust a regimen stepwise when BP remains above goal on two or more agents
Simulator scenario
A middle-aged patient with blood pressure uncontrolled on three agents, prompting the clinician to reassess adherence, technique, and secondary causes before adjusting therapy.
Board question topics
- Correct blood pressure measurement technique
- Guideline-directed initial drug selection
- Defining and evaluating resistant hypertension
- Clues suggesting a secondary cause
