Nerve zapping for resistant HTN

[Guest guest]

Just read this news story about a procedure to kill certain kidney nerves as a

way to treat resistant hypertension. I am in disbelief over this. Naturally it's

being promoted by the biotech company that came up with it. Nothing in this

story at all about performing the much simpler and less costly tests for Conn's,

which is probably the cause of many of these patients' resistant HTN!!!

Or DASHing. My guess is the zapping won Be effective very long. I would hope they have measured renin and Aldo before. May your pressure be low!CE Grim MS, MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertensionOn May 29, 2012, at 0:56, em5704 <em5704@...> wrote:
