Objective
to investigate bipolar radio frequency renal denervation; as compared to sham-control, in patients with hypertension not receiving medications at baseline
Study
prospective, blinded, multicentre sham procedure controlled trial
Population
patients with office bases systolic BP of â¥150 and â¤180 mmHg and average 24-h ambulatory SBP of â¥135 and â¤170 mmHg after 4 week medication without
Endpoints
8 week change in 24 h ambulatory SBP
Conclusion
