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

ConclusionsRenal artery denervation when added to PVI decreases AF recurrences, AF burden, and mean BP. Reduction in 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.
