Resistant hypertension can be managed with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists as add on therapy to the other antihypertensive medications. Novel antihypertensives like aldosterone synthase inhibitors can reduce the aldosterone production directly and interventional approaches like renal sympathetic nerve denervation and baroreceptor stimulation for selective patients can help regulate blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension. Lifestyle modifications and evaluating the causes for secondary hypertension such as cushing syndrome, sleep apnea, renal artery stenosis, pheochromocytoma and hyperaldosteronism is essential to optimize the blood pressure control.
