Favorable effect of renal denervation on elevated renal vascular resistance in patients with resistant hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective: To assess the effect of renal denervation (RDN) on renal vascular resistance and renal function in patients with drug-resistant hypertension (HTN) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Materials And Methods: Fifty-nine patients (mean age 60.3 ± 7.

Denervation of the distal renal arterial branches vs. conventional main renal artery treatment: a randomized controlled trial for treatment of resistant hypertension.

Background: Effective treatment of uncontrolled hypertension using catheter-based percutaneous renal denervation may depend strongly on the anatomic strategy applied when delivering therapy. We hypothesized that concentering renal denervation treatment in the distal region of the artery would improve clinical response.

Methods And Results: We conducted a single-center, double-blind, randomized, controlled, and parallel group study (ClinicalTrials.

Predictors of Renal Denervation Efficacy in the Treatment of Resistant Hypertension.

Unlabelled: The aims of the study were to evaluate the effects of renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) on the heart and to identify the predictors of RSD efficacy in patients with resistant arterial hypertension. The study comprised 60 RSD patients (54.6 ± 9.

Improved automatic analysis of ambulatory blood pressure data based on precise detection of individual night-time from diurnal profile of heart rate.

Background: Software programs sold with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) devices are designed to use some set 'typical' night-time (e.g. 2300-0700) to estimate daytime/night-time blood pressure (BP) with limited accuracy.
