Zilebesiran - A New Hypertension Treatment
Manage episode 379944714 series 2931422
Injectable, long-acting therapy is a new frontier for hypertension management. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he evaluates zilebesiran, a hepatic angiotensinogen blocker for blood pressure control for up to six months.
The GameChanger
Zilebesiran blocks the final production of angiotensinogen at the hepatic level making it safer from a renal perspective than the ACEis or ARBs. A single subcutaneous injection provides therapy for up to six months.
