High blood pressure is a major health problem around the world. It affects millions of people and raises the risk of serious problems like heart disease, kidney damage, and stroke.
Even though many people try to manage it with lifestyle changes and daily medicine, a lot still struggle to keep their blood pressure under control.
Now, a new treatment could bring hope. A study published in the journal JAMA introduces a new method called renal denervation, or RDN for short. This is a minimally invasive procedu…
So, what is renal denervation? It’s a medical procedure that aims to lower blood pressure by calming down overactive nerves near the blood vessels of the kidneys. These nerves help control blood pressure, and when they are too active, they make the pressure rise. By reducing their activity, the body can better manage blood pressure.
The procedure is fairly simple. A doctor inserts a thin tube called a catheter through a tiny cut in the wrist or groin. The tube is gently guided to the arteries near the kidne…
In a recent clinical study called the Radiance II trial, 224 people with uncontrolled high blood pressure received this treatment. The results were impressive.
After the procedure, their blood pressure dropped and stayed lower for at least two months. Dr. Stephen Jenkins, one of the researchers, said this gives patients another choice when regular medicine doesn’t work well.
This isn’t the first time RDN has been tested. Earlier studies also found good results in people with different levels of high blood…
What makes this treatment exciting is that it’s consistent. Across three large trials and more than 500 patients, RDN has repeatedly helped bring down blood pressure. The findings were also published in JAMA Cardiology and suggest RDN could be a strong option for people whose blood pressure doesn’t improve with medication.
There are several benefits to this new procedure. First, it’s minimally invasive. That means there’s only a small cut, so people usually recover quickly and face fewer risks than with …
For people who have tried everything else, renal denervation could make a real difference. Although more research is needed to understand the long-term effects, the current results are promising.
High blood pressure is still one of the top causes of illness and death around the world. New treatments like RDN are important steps forward. They give patients more options and highlight the value of continuing medical research to fight this widespread condition.
