Systemic Microvascular Function in Patients With Resistant Hypertension

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

It has been proposed that the modulation of the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, through renal sympathetic denervation, besides reducing blood pressure, would promote an improvement in vascular reactivity and consequent improvement of macro and microcirculation.

The present study aimed to investigate the influence of the renal sympathetic denervation on the skin microvascular function of patients presenting with resistant arterial hypertension.

Clinical Trial Description

Arterial hypertension is still a serious public health problem with considerable social and economic impact. Arterial hypertension is the result from a complex interaction between environmental and genetic factors that initiate and perpetuate elevated blood pressure. Studies show that about 10% of patients undergoing treatment have resistant hypertension, defined as high blood pressure refractory to at least three antihypertensive drugs. It is known that the sympathetic nervous system plays a fundamental role in the pathophysiology of hypertension, contributing to metabolic and vascular changes. The sympathetic nervous system has also a major role in the pathophysiology of arterial hypertension. Arterial hypertension has also been associated with functional microcirculatory alterations as well as systemic microvascular endothelial dysfunction in hypertensive patients, confirmed by different microcirculatory flowmetry techniques. In this context, it has been proposed that the modulation of the sympathetic nervous system through renal sympathetic denervation, besides reducing blood pressure, would promote an improvement in vascular reactivity and consequent improvement of macro and microcirculation.

The present study aimed to investigate the influence of the renal sympathetic denervation on the skin microvascular function of patients with resistant hypertension. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
