Abstract

[Extract] Renal denervation (RDN) has become a standard treatment option to lower blood pressure (BP) in patients with resistant hypertension in many countries since 2010. There is a huge interest in investigating the effect of RDN on resistant hypertension and other diseases (e.g. diabetes and heart failure), and 118 clinical trials have been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov. A large number of early clinical trials demonstrate that RDN lowers blood pressure. However, on 9 January 2014, Medtronic reported that RDN did not lower blood pressure in the randomized and sham controlled Symplicity HTN-3 trial.
