Renal sympathetic denervation in therapy resistant hypertension - pathophysiological aspects and predictors for treatment success

Table 3 Predictors for blood pressure change after renal sympathetic denervation

Ref.	Year	Patients	Predictor
Böhm et al[12]	2015	998	Higher baseline BP predicts better BP response to RDN
Kandzari et al[73]	2015	364
Id et al[76]	2013	74	Less BP response to RDN if accessories are present
Ewen et al[89]	2015	126	Better BP response in patients with combined vs isolated systolic hypertension
Okon et al[41]	2016	58	Lower pulse wave velocity predicts BP response
Zuern et al[88]	2013	40	Better BP response in patients with impaired baroreflex sensitivity

BP: Blood pressure; RDN: Renal sympathetic denervation.
