This extensively revised edition examines renal pathophysiology and
the rationale for renal denervation for the management of
hypertension, as well as possible long-term benefits and risks of
this therapy. Renal denervation is a minimally invasive,
endovascular catheter-based procedure that makes use of
radiofrequency ablation to treat resistant hypertension, with
studies showing a high degree of effectiveness. The devices
involved in the continued evolution of this therapy are discussed
and the book incorporates analyses of the development of the
technique while evaluating its cost effectiveness and future
applications. Renal Denervation: A New Approach to Treatment of
Resistant Hypertension describes the technique in detail, its
advances and its pitfalls. While it has been estimated that 50% of
Western civilization has hypertension and approximately 20% of
patients have resistant hypertension, hypertension remains the
leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality thus
strengthening arguments to consider a wider range of potential
solutions to manage these patients.
