Management of Renovascular Hypertension and Renal Denervation in Patients with Hypertension: An Italian Nationwide Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Renovascular hypertension (RVH) remains underdiagnosed despite its significant cardiovascular and renal morbidity.

Aim

This survey investigated screening and management practices for RVH among hypertensive patients in Italian hypertension centres in a real-life setting. Secondary, we analysed the current spread of renal denervation (RDN) and the criteria used for its eligibility.

Methods

A 12 item-questionnaire was sent to hypertension centres belonging to the European Society of Hypertension and to the Italian Society of Hypertension (SIIA) in Italy. Data concerning the screening and management of RVH and of RDN were analysed according to the type of centre (excellence vs non-excellence centres), geographical area and medical specialty.
