Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that renal denervation decreases blood pressure and is safe when studied in the absence of antihypertensive medications.

Interventions

After a renal angiography according to standard procedures, subjects remain blinded and are immediately treated with the renal denervation procedure after randomization.

PROCEDURESham Procedure

After a renal angiography according to standard procedures, subjects remain blinded and remain on the catheterization lab table for at least 20 minutes prior to introducer sheath removal.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Antihypertensive Medication Burden to 36-monthsFrom baseline to 36 months post-procedureBased on the prescribed medications reported, medication burden was calculated using Medication Index 2 score which is a composite index based on the doses of antihypertensive medications multiplied by the number of medications prescribed; all classes (ACE/ARB, calcium channel blockers, etc.) were considered equivalent in potency. Higher score indicates higher dosages being prescribed over the standard dose. There are no clinically established thresholds.

Antihypertensive Medication Burden to 36-months

Based on the prescribed medications reported, medication burden was calculated using Medication Index 2 score which is a composite index based on the doses of antihypertensive medications multiplied by the number of medications prescribed; all classes (ACE/ARB, calcium channel blockers, etc.) were considered equivalent in potency. Higher score indicates higher dosages being prescribed over the standard dose. There are no clinically established thresholds.

Time frame: From baseline to 36 months post-procedure

Population: The number of participants analyzed reflects the number of subjects with prescribed medications reported.
