Abstract

[Extract] I read with great interest a review article published in the advanced online edition of this journal. This article reviewed some critical issues on renal denervation, including patient selection, efficacy, safety, etc. This article summarized the impressive office blood pressure–lowering effect of renal denervation in the Symplicity HTN studies. However, it did not cite other studies that did not observe a decrease in blood pressure after renal denervation. For example, Fadl Elmula et al and Hart et al separately reported that renal denervation did not decrease office systolic blood pressure. In addition, some studies, for example, the report of Witkowski et al showed that renal denervation did not decrease ambulatory blood pressure.
