Overview

La hipertensión sigue siendo una de las condiciones crónicas más prevalentes y de mayor impacto clínico en atención primaria. Sin embargo, una proporción sustancial de pacientes no logra alcanzar un control adecuado de la presión arterial a pesar del uso de múltiples fármacos. El exceso de aldosterona —tanto en el contexto de un aldosteronismo primario manifiesto como dentro de un espectro más amplio de activación mediada por la aldosterona— se reconoce actualmente como un factor contribuyente mucho más frecuente de lo que se estimaba previamente en la hipertensión de difícil control, lo que representa una brecha crítica en su reconocimiento y manejo clínico.

Los inhibidores de la aldosterona sintasa (IAS) representan un enfoque mecanístico innovador que actúa directamente sobre la producción de aldosterona mediante la inhibición de la enzima CYP11B2, ofreciendo una estrategia fisiopatológicamente dirigida y diferenciada del antagonismo de los receptores de mineralocorticoides. En este pódcast de educación médica continuada, revisamos la evidencia emergente de los ensayos clínicos sobre los IAS, analizando su eficacia, las consideraciones de seguridad y su posible integración en los algoritmos de tratamiento basados en la evidencia para pacientes con hipertensión de difícil control. Los profesionales sanitarios adquirirán un marco más claro para identificar a los candidatos adecuados y contextualizar esta nueva clase terapéutica dentro del abordaje actual de la hipertensión.
