Understanding Resistant Hypertension and the Role of RDN Therapy

Hypertension is considered one of the most prevalent and serious diseases around the world and is known as the "silent killer." Several people in India are estimated to be leading their lives with uncontrolled hypertension, despite being under regular treatment. Statistics show that almost 75% of such patients continue to have high blood pressure even after lifestyle modification and medication. Of them, about 11% suffer from *resistant hypertension*-a condition wherein the blood pressure remains consistently high despite a patient taking three or more antihypertensive drugs, including a diuretic, and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits.

Resistant hypertension carries a significant risk of serious target organ damage to the heart, brain, and kidneys. Inability to successfully control blood pressure over years can lead to complications such as heart attack, stroke, kidney injury, and other cardiovascular disorders. The frustration and anxiety of patients with this condition often stem from feeling that diet, exercise, and medicine are just not enough to handle it. That is where new medical advances give hope, such as *Renal Denervation (RDN) therapy*.

RDN therapy is a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure that was designed to help patients with resistant hypertension achieve better blood pressure control. Therapy acts on the nerves leading to the renal arteries, which communicate directly with the kidney, playing a very important role in blood pressure regulation. By interrupting the communication of these overly active nerve signals, RDN helps lower blood pressure and improves long-term cardiovascular outcomes.
