[New ESH/ESC guidelines on arterial hypertension : what is new and what indications remain for renal denervation?].
Arterial hypertension is one of the most common diseases in the western world and one of the most important risk factors for other cardiovascular diseases. Despite widespread therapeutic options, there is still a large proportion of patients with uncontrolled hypertension. The new European guidelines on hypertension give clear lines of action for diagnosis and treatment sorted into appropriate evidence levels based on current scientific data. Such evidence is still unclear for renal denervation so that no clear recommendations can be given.
