Genetic Based Analysis of Identifying Predictors of Blood Pressure Response in Hypertensive Patients After Renal Denervation

Detailed Summary

Many attempts to identify predictors of blood pressure response after renal denervation failed to identify a meaningful determination of blood pressure response. These attempts have been based on demographic parameters, clinical parameters, endocrine inflammatory and other biochemical variables, comorbidities and disease factors. So far the only predictor of blood pressure response is the pre-treatment blood pressure. According to Wilder's law the pre-treatment baseline value is always a determinant for any change due to an intervention, irrespective which biological variable is examined. The investigators propose a genetic approach to identify predictors of blood pressure response after renal denervation. Genetic factors are not subject to changes of clinical parameters, previous or current antihypertensive therapy, hypertension associated organ damages, comorbidities and other potential clinical variables.
