2020-859-1 Novel Approach to Modulate Renal Neurotransmission via Percutaneous

SUMMARY: UCLA researchers in the Department of Medicine-Cardiology have developed a method that applies renal denervation to specific renal arteries to treat resistant hypertension. BACKGROUND: Sympathetic nervous system activation occurs when chemicals, such as adrenaline, bind to multiple receptors that are responsible for vital functions such...
