How many UK residents could benefit from the new targeted thermal therapy treatment for high blood pressure, and what is the primary mechanism by which it achieves this?

A new treatment called targeted thermal therapy (TTT) can cure high blood pressure in half a million UK residents. TTT uses heat to destroy nodules in the adrenal glands that cause excess aldosterone production, leading to high blood pressure. A trial showed that four patients stopped medication altogether, twelve significantly improved, and three-quarters saw aldosterone production halt.
