Description

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a leading cause of stroke, cardiovascular and kidney disease. In most individuals with hypertension blood pressure can be managed through lifestyle changes and with drug therapies. However, a sub-group of those with hypertension have treatment-resistant hypertension. Renal denervation offers a treatment option for patients in this sub-group. At least three Canadian provinces, including Alberta, have pilot studies of renal denervation planned or underway at the time of publication. This assessment reviews the evidence on renal denervation for the treatment of resistant hypertension in order to support the development of policy recommendations around its provision as a publicly funded service in Alberta.
