Supports renal denervation for office BP control in resistant hypertension; confirms pooled 6-month reductions despite high heterogeneity.
Does renal denervation reduce blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension?
Renal denervation significantly lowers office systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to control in patients with resistant hypertension, though it does not significantly reduce ambulatory systolic blood pressure.
