A 70-year-old gentleman, who had been suffering from chronichigh blood pressure and uncontrolled hypertension for the past six years, was successfully treated at Kauvery Hospital, Radial Road, through a procedure called renal denervation.
The patient had been battling with hypertension since 2019. Despite taking five different medicines for high blood pressure and even after increasing the dosage over a period of time, his blood pressurecontinued to be as high as 200/120mm Hg and the associated symptoms like frequent headaches and palpitations affected his quality of life.
With such uncontrolled hypertension posing the risk of many serious health conditions like stroke, heart attack and kidney failure, Prof Dr Ajith Pillai, Chief Cardiologist and Head of Department, recommended the latest electrically modulated renal denervation (RDN) treatment. This procedure was performed in the Cath Labunder local anesthesia, using radiofrequency ablation to control the patientтАЩs renal nerve excitability. This effective treatment option is not only minimally invasive but also reduces nerve activity to achieve long-term stabilisation of blood pressure.
Following the procedure, the patient was discharged after 48 hours.Depending on the health status, some patients can also be discharged even within 24 hours. A month later, the patientтАЩs blood pressure is well under control, with readings consistently in the range of 140/80mm Hg. He is free from the symptoms he experienced earlier and has been able to reduce the BP medicines significantly.
тАЬThe Heart Institute at Kauvery Hospital, Radial Road, is a tertiary centre of excellence that offers high-end care and runs an active hypertension screening and treatment program. It is one of the referral centres for RDN therapy, which would benefit patients who have uncontrolled blood pressure,тАЭ said Prof Dr Ajith Pillai.

The much acclaimed feature film, Calcutta, I’m Sorry, scripted and directed by Harry McClure has its theme set around an Anglo – Indian woman named Amanda Wright who serves as a Music Teacher at Conoor is diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, much to her shock!
