Abstract

Renal sympathetic hyperactivity is associated with hypertension. Renal denervation is an interventional approach to selectively denervate the renal sympathetic fibers. The reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension has been demonstrated in the Symplicity HTN-1 and HTN-2 trials. Before the patient undergoes an interventional procedure, causes of secondary hypertension or pseudoresistance must be excluded.
