Abstract
Arterial hypertension is highly prevalent and remains the most common modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the development and progression of uncontrolled hypertension an increased sympathetic nerve activity has been identified as a main contributor. Catheter-based renal denervation was developed to selectively modulate renal sympathetic activity. Recently, several randomized sham-controlled trials have proven the efficacy and safety of renal denervation in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Hence, one may expect renal denervation to be used as part of clinical practice some time soon. This paper aims to define national criteria for centers who wish to perform renal denervation procedures and to optimize care pathways for patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Centers may apply for certification once they fulfill all criteria.
