RNA Interference as a Therapeutic Approach for Managing Hypertension

What is it about?

Treatment of high blood pressure typically involves medications in the form of pills that need to be taken once daily or more frequently. Using a novel RNA technology, investigators have found a way to deliver a medicine for blood pressure that can be given by injection once every 6 months. In this perspective, we trace the history of front-line medications for hypertension, the results using this new semi-annual novel injection medicine, and place this new therapy in the context of conventional medications currently used in clinical practice.
