Pulmonary vein isolation with  concomitant renal artery denervation is associated with reduction of both arterial blood pressure and atrial fibrillation burden: data from implantable cardiac monitor

ConclusionsRDN when added to PVI decreases AF recurrences, AF burden and mean BP. Reduction of mean BP is associated with both AF burden and recurrences. Further large‐scale studies are needed to define the mechanistic pathway(s) of the antiarrhythmic effects of RDN.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
