May support RDN in resistant hypertension; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of sustained effects.
Does renal denervation reduce blood pressure and muscle sympathetic nerve activity in patients with resistant hypertension?
Renal denervation provides sustained reduction in both blood pressure and central sympathetic outflow up to 1 year in patients with resistant hypertension.
Hering et al. (2014) studied this question.
