2024 ESC Guidelines for the management of elevated blood pressure and hypertension

Arterial hypertension is the most prevalent modifiable risk factor associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although antihypertensive drugs are widely available, in many patients blood pressure control to guideline-recommended target values is not achieved. Several device-based approaches have been introduced to lower blood pressure; most of these strategies aim to modulate autonomic nervous system activity. Clinical trials have moved from including patients with resistant hypertension receiving intensive pharmacological treatment to including patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension in the presence or absence of antihypertensive medications. Renal sympathetic denervation is the most extensively investigated device-based therapy for hypertension, and randomized, sham-controlled trials have provided proof-of-principle data for its blood pressure-lowering efficacy. Unilateral electrical baroreflex activation, endovascular baroreflex amplification and pacemaker-mediated cardiac neuromodulation therapy have yielded promising results in observational trials, which need to be confirmed in larger, adequately powered, sham-controlled trials. Until further evidence becomes available, device-based therapy for hypertension should not be considered for routine treatment. However, when considering a device-based treatment for hypertension, the underlying pathophysiology in each patient has to be taken into consideration, and the procedural risks weighed against the cardiovascular risk attributable to the elevated blood pressure. This Review summarizes the pathophysiological rationale and the latest clinical evidence for device-based therapies for hypertension.

Device-based therapies for arterial hypertension

In the past decade, efforts to improve blood pressure control have looked beyond conventional approaches of lifestyle modification and drug therapy to embrace interventional therapies. Based upon animal and human studies clearly demonstrating a key role for the sympathetic nervous system in the etiology of hypertension, the newer technologies that have emerged are predominantly aimed at neuromodulation of peripheral nervous system targets. These include renal denervation, baroreflex activation therapy, endovascular baroreflex amplification therapy, carotid body ablation, and pacemaker-mediated programmable hypertension control. Of these, renal denervation is the most mature, and with a recent series of proof-of-concept trials demonstrating the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency and more recently ultrasound-based renal denervation, this technology is poised to become available as a viable treatment option for hypertension in the foreseeable future. With regard to baroreflex activation therapy, endovascular baroreflex amplification, carotid body ablation, and programmable hypertension control, these are developing technologies for which more human data are required. Importantly, central nervous system control of the circulation remains a poorly understood yet vital component of the hypertension pathway and mandates further investigation. Technology to improve blood pressure control through deep brain stimulation of key cardiovascular control territories is, therefore, of interest. Furthermore, alternative nonsympathomodulatory intervention targeting the hemodynamics of the circulation may also be worth exploring for patients in whom sympathetic drive is less relevant to hypertension perpetuation. Herein, we review the aforementioned technologies with an emphasis on the preclinical data that underpin their rationale and the human evidence that supports their use.
