Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether renal sympathetic denervation (RSD)(a treatment that lowers the activity of the sympathetic nervous system) is useful in the management of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HF-PEF).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Increasing evidence suggests an important role of activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. The current study aims to evaluate efficacy of renal sympathetic denervation for the modulation of the SNS in patients with HF-PEF.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Renal sympathetic denervation

Renal denervation using the Medtronic Symplicity catheter.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Renal sympathetic denervation

Intervention Type DEVICE

A fit for purpose radiofrequency catheter is guided to the renal artery using fluoroscopy. This is connected to an external RF generator. RF energy is applied through the catheter to the renal artery wall with the goal of disrupting the sympathetic nerves which run in the adventitia

Control

HF-PEF patients who will serve as control.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
