Resumo
Objetivo: Compilar resultados de ensaios clínicos randomizados que avaliem os efeitos dos inibidores da aldosterona sintase sobre as pressões arteriais sistólica e diastólica de pacientes com hipertensão resistente. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de estudos disponíveis nas bases de dados PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase e The Cochrane Library. Foram incluídos ensaios clínicos randomizados publicados em qualquer ano, e excluídos estudos que envolvessem populações com histórico de hipertensão secundária a qualquer etiologia, diabetes mal controlado e taxa de filtração glomerular < 45 ml/min/1,73 m². O risco de viés dos ensaios foi avaliado pela ferramenta Rob 2 e o protocolo desta revisão foi registrado no PROSPERO (CRD420251170276). Resultados: A amostra final contou com quatro estudos. O LCI699 apresentou mudanças modestas das pressões arteriais sistólica e diastólica. O baxdrostat e o lorundrostat demonstraram reduções consistentes da pressão arterial sistólica. Considerações finais: Os fármacos baxdrostat e lorundrostat representam uma estratégia terapêutica promissora no tratamento da hipertensão resistente. Apesar disso, a evidência disponível ainda é limitada pelo pequeno número de ensaios clínicos, pela heterogeneidade metodológica e pela ausência de desfechos clínicos de maior impacto, sendo necessários estudos adicionais.
