Renal sympathetic denervation in resistant hypertension
World Journal of Cardiology, 2013 Resistant hypertension remains a major clinical problem despite the available multidrug therapy. Over the next decades, its incidence will likely increase given that it is strongly associated with older age and obesity. Resistant hypertension patients have an increased cardiovascular risk, thus effective antihypertensive treatment will provide ...

The Renal Nerves in Chronic Heart Failure: Afferent and Efferent Mechanisms
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 The function of the renal nerves has been an area of scientific and medical interest for many years. The recent advent of a minimally invasive catheter-based method of renal denervation has renewed excitement in understanding the afferent and efferent ...

Renal artery sympathetic nerve radiofrequency denervation [PDF]
Kardiologia Polska, 2017 Arterial hypertension is one of the most common chronic diseases in the western world, affecting more than 25% of the adult population.The aim of this study was to assess changes in arterial blood pressure (BP) levels in hypertensive patients, after ablation of nerve terminals in renal arteries, using radiofrequency energy during 24 months of follow-up.

Baroreflex Sensitivity and Renal Sympathetic Denervation
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2014 We read with great interest the study by Zuern et al. [(1)][1] about the possibility of predicting for the first time the response to renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) in patients with resistant hypertension, using cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (BRS).

Interventional therapies for chronic heart failure: An overview of recent developments
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1081-1094, April 2025.Abstract Heart failure (HF), the final manifestation of most cardiovascular diseases, has become a major global health concern, affecting millions of individuals. Despite basic drug treatments, patients present with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, recent advancements in interventional therapy have shown promising results in improving the ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 15, Page 4091-4110, August 2026.Abstract Catecholamines are classically viewed as neuronal transmitters and adrenal hormones; however, accumulating evidence demonstrates that sources other than nerve fibres and adrenal medulla play a fundamental role in local organ regulation. Physiological paradoxes, such as preserved organ function after denervation or transplantation, challenge a ...

Renal Denervation Influences Angiotensin II Types 1 and 2 Receptors
International Journal of Nephrology, 2022 The sympathetic and renin-angiotensin systems (RAS) are two critical regulatory systems in the kidney which affect renal hemodynamics and function. These two systems interact with each other so that angiotensin II (Ang II) has the presynaptic effect on ...

Deciphering Freezing of Gait: What Neuropathology Reveals About an Episodic Phenomenon
European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 12, June 2026.Freezing of gait (FoG) occurs across Parkinson's disease, multiple neurodegenerative conditions and non‐neurodegenerative disorders. This review synthesizes the structural, neurochemical and proteinopathic substrates underlying FoG, showing how cumulative damage to distributed locomotor circuits—compounded by overlapping pathologies—progressively ...

Renal denervation: time to open Pandora’s box
Swiss Medical Weekly, 2012 Depending on the populations studied and the definitions applied, the prevalence of treatment-resistant hypertension varies from 10% to 15%, but is higher in conditions associated with increased sympathetic drive, such as obesity, obstructive sleep
