This book aims to identify the prevalence of those patients with a diagnosis of resistant arterial hypertension, as well as to characterize and describe the demographic and clinical factors to establish their association with resistant arterial hypertension and its behavior in end-stage renal disease.Dedicated to the curious, persistent and courageous minds that with their silent work build day by day the foundations of medical knowledge.To those who transform doubt into method, observation into discovery, uncertainty into an opportunity to learn and heal.
