LONG-TERM ADHERENCE TO ANTIHYPERTENSIVE TREATMENT BY URINARY/PLASMA DETECTION IN PATIENTS WITH RESISTANT HYPERTENSION IN THE RENAL DENERVATION FOR HYPERTENSION (DENERHTN) TRIAL

Objective: The DENERHTN trial reported the BP–lowering efficacy of renal denervation (RD) in addition to a standardized stepped-care antihypertensive treatment (SSAHT) in patients with resistant hypertension (RHTN) vs. SSAHT alone at 6 months despite a similar (around 50%) prevalence of partial+complete nonadherence (NA) to antihypertensive drugs (AHD). We report here adherence to AHD at 12 months. Design and method: 106 patients with RHTN to...
