Summary

This study tested a procedure called renal denervation, which uses radiofrequency energy to calm overactive nerves in the kidneys, to see if it can safely lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension is not controlled by up to three medications. The study involved 337 participants with high blood pressure. The main goal was to measure blood pressure changes six months after the procedure and check for serious side effects.
