An expert consensus statement on renal denervation for the management of hypertension endorsed by the Portuguese Association of Interventional Cardiology of the Portuguese Society of Cardiology (APIC-SPC) and the Portuguese Society of Hypertension (SPH).

Purpose

This consensus aims to clarify for which patients renal denervation may be a viable therapeutic option, identify the main clinical and procedural considerations for its implementation, and promote its optimal and safe use through appropriate patient selection and multidisciplinary evaluation.

More results

It synthesizes evidence from contemporary sham-controlled trials and large real-world registries, which show sustained blood pressure reductions with both radiofrequency and ultrasound systems, and a favorable and consistent safety profile, while acknowledging remaining uncertainties in long-term clinical outcomes and individual response prediction.

More results

The document emphasizes rigorous patient selection within a structured pathway coordinated by multidisciplinary hypertension teams.
