Effects of renal sympathetic denervation on 24-hour blood pressure variability

Effects of renal sympathetic denervation on 24-hour blood pressure variability

Background: In patients with arterial hypertension, increased blood pressure (BP) variability contributes to end organ damage independently from mean levels of arterial BP. Increased BP variability has been linked to alterations in autonomic function including sympathetic overdrive. We hypothesized...
