Overview
Hypertension remains a major burden and presents acute challenges in patient care. Sympathetic renal denervation (RDN) emerged as a therapeutic option for patients with resistant hypertension, until Symplicity HTN-3. However, more recently three sham-controlled trials have shed new light on RDN. In this Independent Medical Education webinar, four leading authorities discuss the scientific basis for RDN, the implications of data from SPYRAL OFF, RADIANCE SOLO and SPYRAL ON, its durability, safety and the considerations in patient selection, and look at what lies ahead.
