AbstractNew invasive technology looks very promising, as they allow you to discontinue the drug with serious side effects. Efficacy and safety procedures for the method have been studied in the pioneering research in terms of process engineering. The effects of renal denervation (RD) is (are) a little (bad) study of the effect on the target organs: heart, kidneys and brain. Very disparate information and angio cardio-protective effects in several experimental RD dummy controlled clinical studies and a small number of models in animals or patients. The first experimental studies have shown that the effect of RD on renal function. Vasodilatory effect leads to the immediate effect of increasing the urinary sodium excretion, diuresis and increased the glomerular filtration rate with complete denervation of the renal arteries in rats. Stop the progression of kidney failure is possible. Some studies suggest a regression of myocardial hypertrophy, but they are ambiguous. The study was not about changes in cerebral blood flow after RD.
