Article Synopsis
- Pharmacological treatment combined with lifestyle changes effectively manages hypertension, but some patients remain resistant; renal denervation (RDN) may benefit these individuals.
- The study involved 12 patients with resistant hypertension who underwent RDN from 2011 to 2014, assessing their long-term quality of life (QoL) and blood pressure (BP) changes over 24 months.
- Results showed significant BP reduction at multiple time points post-RDN, with improvements in QoL particularly in emotional reaction and sleep disturbance, and no major adverse events reported.
