Renal denervation in comparison with intensified pharmacotherapy in true resistant hypertension: 2-year outcomes of randomized PRAGUE-15 study.

TLDR
In the settings of true resistant hypertension, spironolactone addition (if tolerated) seems to be of better efficacy than RDN in BP reduction over a period of 24 months, however, by contrast to the 12-month results, BP changes were not significantly greater.
Abstract
Objectives:The randomized, multicentre study compared the efficacy of renal denervation (RDN) versus spironolactone addition in patients with true resistant hypertension. We present the 24-month data.Methods:A total of 106 patients with true resistant hypertension were enrolled in this study: 52 pat

Renal denervation for resistant hypertension.

TL;DR: The short- and long-term effects of renal denervation in individuals with resistant hypertension on clinical end points, including fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, all-cause mortality, hospital admissions, quality of life, blood pressure control, left ventricular hypertrophy, cardiovascular and metabolic profile, and kidney function are evaluated, as well as the potential adverse events related to the procedure.

TL;DR: At current costs and based on currently observed effects on BP reduction, RDN would be cost-effective among patients with TRH.

Renal Sympathetic-Nerve Ablation for Uncontrolled Hypertension

TL;DR: The renal sympathetic nerves have been identified as a major contributor to the complex pathophysiology of hypertension in both experimental models and in humans and may be modulated by afferent signaling from renal sensory nerves.
