Adjusted Drug Treatment Is Superior to Renal Sympathetic Denervation in Patients With True Treatment-Resistant Hypertension

TL;DR: The data suggest that adjusted drug treatment has superior BP lowering effects compared with RDN in patients with true TRH, and Ambulatory BPs changed in parallel to office BPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Renal sympathetic denervation in patients with treatment-resistant hypertension after witnessed intake of medication before qualifying ambulatory blood pressure.

TL;DR: The findings question whether BP falls in response to RDN in patients with true treatment-resistant hypertension, and additional research must aim to verify potential BP lowering effect and identify a priori responders toRDN before this invasive method can routinely be applied to patients with drug- resistant hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

[Re: Renal sympathetic denervation in treatment-resistant hypertension].

TL;DR: Before RDN can become recommended treatment in Norway, more evidence is required that the method lowers blood pressure, and that this reduces morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

The randomised Oslo study of renal denervation vs. Antihypertensive drug adjustments: efficacy and safety through 7 years of follow-up

TL;DR: The data support RDN as a safe procedure, but it remains non-superior to intensive drug adjustment 7 years after the intervention, with a tendency towards a smaller difference in BPs between the RDN and drug adjustment patients.
