Renal denervation for uncontrolled blood pressure

尽管有许多有效的药物，但血压控制不当仍然是世界范围内死亡的主要原因。我们已经成功地开创了一种基于导管的方法，使用射频能量来破坏肾神经，降低对传统药物治疗有抵抗力的患者的血压。我们现在的目标是测试这项突破性技术作为治疗高血压的潜在方法（不使用降压药控制血压）的作用。

Inadequately controlled blood pressure remains the leading cause of death world wide despite the availability of numerous effective drugs. We have successfully pioneered a catheter-based approach using radiofrequency-energy to disrupt renal nerves and lower blood pressure in patients with resistance to conventional drug treatment. We now aim to test the role of this ground-breaking technology as a potential cure (blood pressure control without antihypertensive medication) for hypertension.
