Sham or no sham control: that is the question in trials of renal denervation for resistant hypertension. A systematic meta-analysis

Background: Studies of renal denervation (RDN) in patients with apparent treatment resistant hypertension have been hampered by a number of patient and physician related confounders on blood pressure (BP) including poor drug adherence. It remains uncertain whether RDN lowers BP. We aimed to investig...
