Blood pressure response to renal denervation is correlated with baseline blood pressure variability

Renal Nerve Stimulation-Induced Blood Pressure Changes Predict Ambulatory Blood Pressure Response After Renal Denervation.

Blood pressure (BP) response to renal denervation (RDN) is highly variable and its effectiveness debated. A procedural end point for RDN may improve consistency of response. The objective of the current analysis was to look for the association between renal nerve stimulation (RNS)-induced BP increase before and after RDN and changes in ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) after RDN. Fourteen patient...

Impact of baseline systolic blood pressure on visit-to-visit blood pressure variability: the Kailuan study

BACKGROUND To investigate the relationship between baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP) and visit-to-visit blood pressure variability in a general population. METHODS This is a prospective longitudinal cohort study on cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events. Study participants attended a face-to-face interview every 2 years. Blood pressure variability was de...

Response to blood pressure and sympathetic nervous system response to renal denervation.

To the Editor: In contrast to several other studies, including the randomized controlled Symplicity-2 trial, renal denervation (RDN) was not associated with a blood pressure (BP) reduction in this small study by Brinkmann et al. It is noteworthy that average baseline BP was significantly lower (157±7/85±4 mm Hg) compared with baseline levels of 178±18/97±16 mm Hg in Symplicity-2, which may expl...

Impact of Renal Denervation on 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure

Fro Ele Va Un Ce #D ici Fo an BACKGROUND Prior studies of catheter-based renal artery denervation have not systematically performed ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) to assess the efficacy of the procedure. OBJECTIVES SYMPLICITY HTN-3 (Renal Denervation in Patients With Uncontrolled Hypertension) was a prospective, blinded, randomized, sham-controlled trial. The current analysis detai...
