Effects on blood pressure, cardiac mass and function after renal denervation in patients with resistant hypertension
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background In recent years, catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) has been investigated as a promising strategy in the treatment of resistant hypertension. Due to a reduction of whole body sympathetic activity, additional benefits on cardiac adaptation have been proposed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of RDN on blood pressure (BP) as well as cardiac mass and function via cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI).

The effect of progressive aerobic continuous training on angiotensin-1, angiotensin-2 and angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 in patients with heart failure
Background: Chronic hypertension causes structural and functional changes in the heart, ultimately leading to heart failure (HF), which further increases mortality and morbidit. HF is a complex clinical syndrome caused by various structural or functional abnormalities of the heart that impair the filling capacity of the ventricles. The findings of various trials have shown the association betwe...

There are no clinical studies on the effects of catheter-based radiofrequency renal denervation (RDN) on renal artery structure using 64-detector computed tomography (CT). A total of 39 patients with resistant hypertension received RDN and 38 patients received drug treatment. Mean systolic pressure and diastolic pressure in the RDN group decreased after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of procedure (P<.0...

Renal denervation reduces office blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension. This study investigated the effects of renal denervation on blood pressure, heart rate, and chronotropic index at rest, during exercise, and at recovery in 60 patients (renal denervation group=50, control group=10) with resistant hypertension using a standardized bicycle exercise test protocol performed 6 a...

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...
متن کاملRenal denervation reduces left ventricular mass in patients with resistant hypertension - results from a multicenter CMR-study
Background Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is a common finding in patients with resistant hypertension and is associated with increased sympathetic activity and high cardiovascular risk. Catheter-based renal denervation (RD) has been shown to reduce blood pressure (BP) and sympathetic tone. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of RD on left ventricular mass, assessed by cardiac m...
