title: Renal Denervation in Heart Failure.
abstract: Heart failure has emerged as one of the most important diseases of the past century. The understanding and treatment of heart failure has evolved significantly over the years. As we move further into the era of device therapy, attention has turned to the idea of sympathetic nervous system modulation through renal denervation to treat heart failure. In this review, we summarize the background research, denervation technique, and current studies on renal denervation for the treatment of heart failure. We also compare and contrast the work on carotid barostimulation.
