Renal denervation for hypertension
Cardiovascular therapies and procedures
The Symplicity™ blood pressure procedure provides a
complementary approach to hypertension (HTN) treatment.
Transforming hypertension treatment
adults with hypertension worldwide1
of hypertension patients do not have their blood pressure under control1
of hypertension patients become non-adherent to their medication within one year2
Hypertension is a leading preventable cause of heart attack, stroke, and death.3 But medication and lifestyle modifications are not always enough to control it.
A novel approach to treating hypertension
The Symplicity blood pressure procedure complements medication and lifestyle changes to treat hypertension. But unlike medications, it maintains blood pressure (BP) reductions over a 24-hour period.4-6
See how the Symplicity Spyral™ system works
The Symplicity Spyral™ renal denervation system supplies precisely controlled and targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy to the renal nerves, safely disrupting the overactive sympathetic signaling between the kidneys and brain to reduce blood pressure.7
Proven to reduce blood pressure4
The Symplicity blood pressure procedure is proven to achieve safe and clinically meaningful blood pressure reduction in the presence and absence of medications in multiple clinical trials and a real-world patient registry.4-6,8
Imagine the impact
Key findings from the GLOBAL SYMPLICITY REGISTRY found a 26% reduction in Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) risk with the Symplicity blood pressure procedure compared to a modeled control group.9
Lower pressure, lower risks
Professor Roland Schmieder, M.D., presents key findings on cardiovascular risk reduction after the Symplicity blood pressure procedure.
