Assessment of wall-shear stress pre and post renal sympathetic nerve denervation in patients with resistant hypertension
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Renal denervation (RD) is a promising treatment for patients with resistant hypertension, with a good safety profile. Studies performed in animal models have demonstrated an increase in renal arteries’ velocity and flow. The hemodynamic effects of RD on renal arteries in humans remain unknown. The aim of our study is to evaluate the hemodynamic effect of RD on renal arteries non-invasively, using magnetic resonance (MR) techniques.

Device-based approaches for renal nerve ablation for hypertension and beyond
Animal and human studies have demonstrated that chronic activation of renal sympathetic nerves is critical in the pathogenesis and perpetuation of treatment-resistant hypertension. Bilateral renal denervation has emerged as a safe and effective, non-pharmacological treatment for resistant hypertension that involves the selective ablation of efferent and afferent renal nerves to lower blood pres...
متن کاملNew treatment for old disease: management of resistant hypertension by percutaneous renal sympathetic denervation.
Hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular events, such as stroke and myocardial infarction, with accelerated sympathetic nerve activity implicated in its pathogenesis. However, hypertension in many patients is not adequately controlled, despite the availability of numerous medication classes. Novel procedure-as well as device-based strategies, such as percutaneous renal sympathetic ...
متن کاملTranslational examination of changes in baroreflex function after renal denervation in hypertensive rats and humans.
Renal denervation has shown promise in the treatment of resistant hypertension, although the mechanisms underlying the blood pressure (BP) reduction remain unclear. In a translational study of spontaneously hypertensive rats (n=7, surgical denervation) and resistant hypertensive human patients (n=8; 5 men, 33-71 years), we examined the relationship among changes in BP, sympathetic nerve activit...
