Implication
May support sympathetic modulation across cardiometabolic diseases; leaves open randomized outcome trials before practice change.
Structured PICO
Does renal denervation improve outcomes in patients with resistant hypertension and related chronic diseases driven by excessive central sympathetic drive?
P
Population
Patients with resistant hypertension and conditions linked by excessive central sympathetic drive (essential hypertension, insulin resistance, heart failure, congestion, diuretic resistance, and cardiorenal disorders)
I
Intervention
Renal denervation (endovascular radiofrequency ablation)
Renal denervation may offer therapeutic benefits for a spectrum of chronic diseases characterized by excessive central sympathetic drive, including heart failure and metabolic syndrome components.
