Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Male or female subjects aged 18 = 2 adequate-dose antihypertensive drugs continuously and stably for at least 4 weeks, with office blood pressure >= 140/90 mmHg and = 130 mmHg and =30 seconds and <7 days) and not receiving any type of antiarrhythmic drugs. 4.The subject or his/her legally authorized representative has fully understood the content of the informed consent for this trial and voluntarily signed the written informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Pregnancy or planned pregnancy. 2.Unilateral or bilateral renal artery anatomy unsuitable for ablation (renal artery stenosis >50%, renal artery aneurysm, renal artery malformation, renal artery diameter = 5 cm. 5.Secondary hypertension (e.g., primary aldosteronism, pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, Cushing’s syndrome, thyroid disease, aortic coarctation, monogenic hypertension, renovascular hypertension, etc.). 6.Hypersensitivity to contrast media. 7.Major surgery or trauma within 3 months prior to enrollment history of acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina, ST-elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction) within 6 months or planned surgery or cardiovascular intervention within the next 6 months. 8.Orthostatic hypotension. 9.Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy. 10.Type 1 diabetes mellitus. 11.Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. 12.Significant bleeding tendency or hematological disease (platelet count 3×upper limit of normal (ULN) or international normalized ratio (INR) >1.5). 13.History of thromboembolism within 6 months. 14.History of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 6 months. 15.Severe peripheral vascular disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm. 16.Severe valvular heart disease. 17.History of ventricular fibrillation, multifocal or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, or prior implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac pacemaker. 18.Severe liver dysfunction (alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), or total bilirubin >3×ULN). 19.Presence of other severe diseases that would preclude enrollment or affect survival, such as malignant tumor or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). 20.Acute or severe systemic infection. 21.Diseases that frequently cause high-output state, such as anemia, liver disease, hyperthyroidism, arteriovenous fistula, etc. 22.Any other condition deemed inappropriate by the investigator for participation in this trial.
