Adherence to Antihypertensive Treatment and the Blood Pressure Lowering Effects of Renal Denervation in the Renal Denervation for Hypertension (DENERHTN) Trial.

CONCLUSIONS: -In the DENERHTN trial, the prevalence of non-adherence to antihypertensive drugs at 6 months was high (≈50%) but not different in the renal denervation and control groups. Regardless of adherence to treatment, renal denervation plus standardized stepped-care antihypertensive treatment resulted in a greater decrease in blood pressure than standardized stepped-care antihypertensive treatment alone.
