Written surveys of patients with high blood pressure are designed to determine how they would likely decide if, in addition to taking medication, they had another option to treat their hypertension. The alternative treatment option is renal sympathetic denervation using catheter ablation. This new treatment method is not yet used in the standard care. Currently, studies are being conducted in specific centers to demonstrate the efficacy of this treatment. Questionnaires are used to determine the preference of patients for one or the other option of hypertension treatment. So far, there are no findings.
