A New Treatment for High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure, or hypertension, can be caused by a condition called primary aldosteronism, affecting the adrenal glands.

This new treatment, called targeted thermal therapy (TTT), uses heat to destroy nodules causing excessive aldosterone production.

Unlike traditional surgeries, TTT is minimally invasive, requiring less recovery time and hospital stay.

Early trials show promising results, with patients experiencing improved blood pressure and reduced reliance on medications.
