UNDERSTAND HYPERTENSION AND ITS MEDICATIONS
Hypertension is one of the most common conditions in clinical practice, and the long list of medication classes can be hard to keep straight. Dr. Roger Seheult organizes the definitions and drug classes into a simple framework, then reviews the 2017 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines. The ACC/AHA published an updated guideline in August 2025, and a new video covering it is in the works.
