The CAD-Hypertension Continuum

Explore the intricate, bidirectional relationship between Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and Hypertension. This course delves into the shared pathophysiological mechanisms that drive the progression of both conditions, from endothelial dysfunction and inflammation to arterial stiffness and microvascular compromise. Understand how uncontrolled hypertension accelerates atherosclerosis, while established CAD makes blood pressure management more challenging. Gain crucial insights into identifying patients at the highest risk within this continuum and developing integrated, multi-target strategies to halt disease progression.
