Abstract
Renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) represents a potential treatment option for certain patients with resistant arterial hypertension (HT). HT is associated with chronic vascular inflammation and remodeling, contributing to progressive vascular damage, and atherosclerosis. The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of RSD on cardiovascular inflammation and remodeling by determining serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP).Keywords
