ABSTRACT Introduction: Resistant arterial hypertension (RHT) is defined as poor controlled blood pressure (BP) despite optimal doses of 3 or more antihypertensive agents, including a diuretic. In the development of RHT, hyperactivity of sympathetic (SNS) and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (SRAA) systems are involved, and SNS is a potent stimulator of vasoactive endothelin-1 (ET1) peptide. Renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) through disrupting renal afferent and efferent nerves attenuates SNS activity. Material and Methods: We carried out pilot study investigating the effect of RSD on BP and plasma ET-1 levels in consecutive 9 RHT patients (7 male and 2 female, mean age of 56 ± 13.3).

Results: After 12 months of the RSD, we observed a significant reduction of BP office, 24-hr
