March 28, 2026C. Michael Gibson MD

C. Michael Gibson says MOMENTUM found 27.3% of U.S. resistant hypertension patients had endogenous hypercortisolism and also highlighted hyperaldosteronism prevalence, arguing for broader endocrine screening in resistant HTN.

“Among U.S. patients with resistant HTN, 27.3% were found to have endogenous hypercortisolism”
“MOMENTUM study revealed high prevalence of hypercortisolism & hyperaldosteronism in U.S. resistant HTN patients, suggesting the importance of screening for both.”
