Article Synopsis
- The study examines how renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) affects sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity compared to drug adjustments in patients with treatment-resistant hypertension (TRH), focusing on plasma catecholamines and heart rate variability during stress tests.
- After six months, RDN showed significant reductions in adrenaline levels compared to the drug adjustment group, suggesting RDN may lower SNS activity more effectively.
- Results indicate that RDN might lead to better long-term outcomes in managing hypertension by decreasing SNS over-activity, evidenced by changes in adrenaline reactivity and heart rate variability.
