This study aims to explore the potential of RDN as a therapy for HFpEF in a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Blinded, Sham-controlled Study.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
signs or symptoms of heart failure;
normal or mildly abnormal systolic LV function (LVEF ≥ 50%);
evidence of diastolic LV dysfunction.
Individual should fulfill the diagnostic WHO criteria for hypertension: SBP > 140 mmHg and/or DBP > 90 mmHg, and is treated with at least 2 antihypertensive drugs. This treatment is expected to be maintained for at least 6 months. Using this regimen the blood pressure should be adequately controlled (< 140/90mmHg by 24 hour ambulatory BP measurement).
Disqualifiers
Known secondary cause of hypertension
Anatomy not eligible for renal denervation
Systolic heart failure (LVEF < 50%)
Individual has an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of < 30mL/min/1.73m2, using the MDRD calculation.
