renal denervation

Renal denervation is a minimally invasive medical procedure aimed at reducing high blood pressure. It involves threading a catheter into the arteries supplying the kidneys and applying controlled pulses of energy, such as radiofrequency or ultrasound, to disrupt nerve signals traveling between the kidneys and brain. These nerves influence blood pressure regulation, and by deactivating them, the procedure can help lower chronic hypertension. It's typically considered for patients with resistant high blood pressure who do not respond well to medications. While promising, renal denervation is still under research and not yet widely adopted as a standard treatment.
