So why do so many people still have uncontrolled blood pressure?<\/p>\r\n<p>Multiple factors play into this. The reality is that despite diagnostic advancements, it is estimated more than 50% of people are unaware they have hypertension.<sup>1<\/sup> For those who are diagnosed, low adherence to prescribed treatments is a large contributor to uncontrolled hypertension.<sup>7<\/sup> Additionally, treatment-resistant hypertension, a hypertension subtype, is also on the rise, impacting 10.3 million Americans.<sup>8<\/sup> This set of challenges can lead to inconsistent blood pressure control, increasing the risk of CVD and other related diseases, as well as premature death.<sup>1<\/sup>\u202fThis underscores the significant need for novel treatment approaches for hypertension to help reduce the associated burden and overcome the limitations of current therapies. Recent technological advances like siRNAs in dyslipidemia, which target previously unreachable mediators of hypertension, represent exciting new targets for novel medications.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cAt Roche and Genentech, we recognize that the complex interplay between CVRM diseases potentially offers the opportunity to manage these disorders using a far more holistic approach, rather than managing each disorder individually. We also have been the pioneer in cardiovascular disease biomarkers for more than a decade and continue bringing more innovative diagnostics solutions for people living with CVRM diseases,\u201d says Shruti. \u201cWith this holistic approach, it may be possible to help treat hypertension as well as preventing adverse outcomes as we strive to provide transformative impact for patients around the world and change the trajectory of hypertension and CVRM diseases overall.\u201d<\/p>","created_at":"2024-11-07 09:01:42","updated_at":"2024-11-14 10:41:17","type":"text","sort_order":4,"products":[]},{"id":"526e9a82-9d2a-11ef-a71e-0242c0a87004","has_top_border":0,"created_at":"2024-11-07 09:04:16","updated_at":"2024-11-07 09:04:16","type":"references","sort_order":5,"items":[{"id":"52701cea-9d2a-11ef-9b86-0242c0a87004","references_block_entity_id":"526e9a82-9d2a-11ef-a71e-0242c0a87004","authors":null,"title":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
