REMIDEP-HTA Program for Hypertension Remission and Medication Deprescription

The REMIDEP-HTA trial is a multicenter randomized controlled study designed to evaluate whether a structured approach combining an intensive lifestyle intervention with a systematic deprescribing algorithm can achieve clinical remission of essential hypertension. \ \ The intervention integrates a 12-week high-intensity behavioral program focused on whole-food plant-based nutrition, progressive physical activity, sleep hygiene, and stress management, together with a hierarchical, safety-centered medication tapering protocol for antihypertensive therapy. \ \ The study aims to determine whether remission can be achieved through a standardized and monitored strategy that prioritizes clinical safety during medication withdrawal.
