RENAL DENERVATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION IN DRUG-RESISTANT HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS. AN UPDATED META-ANALYSIS OF RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS.
Anno:
2023
INTRODUCTION.   This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) was permormed to compare clinical outcomes following renal denervation (RDN) in drug-resistant hypertensive patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).   METHODS   Data collection: We applied the methods recommended by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. We…
a positive correlation between the overall echogenicity of carotid intima media complex and arterial stiffness of hypertensive patients: beyond the intima media thickness assessment.

However, significative measurement difficulties make a widespread evaluation of the AS problematic, especially in the ambulatorial outpatient setting. The IMT measurement…
