Brief Summary

Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke and cardiovascular mortality. Catheter- based renal denervation causes substantial and sustained blood- pressure reduction in patients with resistant hypertension. The purpose of RENSYMPIS is to study the effects of renal denervation on:

  1. 1.Cardiovascular function
  2. 2.Metabolic factors
  3. 3.Inflammatory and endocrine factors
  4. 4.Coagulation
  5. 5.Sleep
