Abstract

BACKGROUND

Renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) represents an effective treatment option for patients with resistant arterial hypertension (HT). Extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover and deposition are essential processes in HT-related cardiovascular remodeling, fibrosis, and cardiac hypertrophy and contribute to hypertensive heart disease.

OBJECTIVES

The primary aim of the present study was to examine the effect of RSD on increased collagen turnover as reflected by serum levels of amino-terminal pro-peptides (PINP, PIIINP) and a carboxyl-terminal pro-peptide (PICP), specific biomarkers for cardiac ECM turnover and cardiovascular fibrosis.

METHODS

A total of 100 consecutive patients (mean age: 65.9 +/- 10.1 years) undergoing RSD were included in this study. A therapeutic response was defined as an office systolic blood pressure (SBP) reduction of > 10 mm Hg 6 months after RSD. Venous serum samples for measurement of PICP, PINP, and PIIINP were collected prior to and 6 months after RSD.

RESULTS

A significant reduction in the office SBP of 24.3 mm Hg (SBP baseline: 166.9 +/- 14.3 mm Hg (P < 0.001) was documented 6 months after RSD. At this time point, the serum levels of PICP, PINP, and PIIINP (P < 0.01) were significantly decreased compared to baseline values in patients with an increased collagen turnover, showing significant differences comparing BP responders and nonresponders.

CONCLUSION

In addition to the effective blood pressure reduction in response to RSD, this study demonstrates a positive effect of RSD on biomarkers reflecting cardiovascular ECM turnover and deposition. These results suggest a beneficial effect of RSD on cardiovascular fibrosis, hypertensive heart disease, and end-organ damage in high-risk patients.
