ABSTRACT
Hypertension is one of the most powerful and modifiable risk factors for the development, progression and even decompensation of heart failure. Uncontrolled hypertension increases to frequency of heart failure hospitalizations by increase sympathetic tone. Catheter-based renal denervation has been shown to reduce blood pressure in the treatment of multidrug-resistant hypertension. We report the improvement in clinical status after renal denervation in a 47-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension, chronic ischemic heart failure, and recurrent hospitalizations for acute hypertensive pulmonary edema despite optimal medical therapy.
