| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We demonstrated a dose-response relationship between intra-renal adenosine infusion and blood pressure, which can be a new indicator of catheter-based renal denervation. Blood pressure during the renal denervation, however, changed according to fluctuating levels of anesthesia and pain. Those external factors should be controlled for developing a new indicator of renal denervation. We also demonstrated that standard therapies for atrial fibrillation, lethal ventricular arrhythmia, and resistant hypertension were not sufficient for some patients. Those patients with refractory arrhythmias might be good candidates for renal denervation, as well as the resistant hypertension.
