BCIS has been working with the British Hypertension Society, the British Cardiovascular Society, the British Society of Interventional Radiology and the Renal Association to develop a Consensus Statement to aid the introduction of renal denervation therapy for patients with resistant hypertension.

 

The full document will be available shortly but this short summary statement is being released now to highlight the fact that this process has been agreed. It highlights key features about the indications for therapy, the requirement for a multidisciplinary approach to the selection of patients for treatment and the development of a national registry.
