The European Society of Cardiology (ESC)¹ and the European Society of Hypertension (ESH)² recommend renal denervation as a treatment option for hypertension.

The European Society of Cardiology (ESC)¹ and the European Society of Hypertension (ESH)² recommend renal denervation as a treatment option for hypertension.

  • The first objective of antihypertensive treatment for all patients is
    to reduce blood pressure to < 140/90 mmHg.1,2
  • If the drug treatment is well tolerated, blood pressure values of 120-129 / 70-79 mmHg
    or lower should be aimed for.1,2

The three pillars for the successful treatment of high blood pressure¹

Changes in lifestyle habits

  • Reduce salt intake, stop smoking, exercise regularly, eat a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, reduce alcohol consumption and maintain a normal weight
  • Positive effect on high blood pressure and other health problems
  • Difficult to implement for most patients
  • Low adherence

Medi­cation

  • ACE-I or ARB + CCB + diuretic (dual or triple pill combi­nation)
  • Spirono­lactone or other drug can be added

Renal dener­vation

  • Minimally invasive and safe procedure² (average duration less than one hour)
  • Low costs and easy to implement
  • Low patient adherence and persistence
  • Intolerance to medication and/or heavy side
    effects
  • Unwilling­ness to take medication
  • There are general risks associated with interven­tional therapy
  • Proven effective in lowering high blood pressure3-5
  • “Always-on” effect regardless of time and patient behavior3-5
  • Short and safe procedure

Lowering high blood pressure with uRDN

  • Proven reduction in blood pressure in mild, moderate and resistant hypertension with or without drug therapy in several randomized, sham-controlled studies3-5
  • Proven safe and sustained reduction in blood pressure measured in the practice over at least 36 months3
  • “Always-on” effect regardless of time and patient behavior3-5

What can be achieved

-10 mmHg The pooled analysis of renal denervation with ultrasound using the Paradise™ system in the RADIANCE study showed a reduction in office-based systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 10.4 mmHg.¹
-27 % Stroke -17 % Coronary
Heart disease

“We have ten years of experience with renal denervation. We have treated several hundred people, very different patients. We have had very good experiences, especially with those who are younger and who have severe high blood pressure.”
