Patient characteristics at baseline
HTN, Epworth sleepiness, Vessix™ Renal Denervation, SDB, dyslipidemia
RENAL, OBESE, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES, HTN, TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS, DYSLIPIDEMIA
Out of forty-one patient with baseline sleep study, twenty-eight patients (including 16 patients with SDB at baseline) underwent sleep study at follow-up (Table 
The baseline characteristics of patients who underwent baseline and follow-up sleep studyBMI – body mass index, BP – blood pressure, SBP – systolic blood pressure, DBP – diastolic blood pressure, ESS – Epworth sleepiness scale, eGFR – estimated glomerular filtration rate, LDL – low-density lipoproteinOverall, patients were middle-aged, with the long-lasting HTN (over 10 years) and without other associated cardiovascular diseases. Every second patient was obese, every third patient had type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the majority of patients had dyslipidemia. Based on the initial ABPM data, all patients demonstrated stable HTN, none of them had masked or white-coat pattern.Based on baseline PSG data, the patients were divided into two groups - with SDB (Although patients with SDB tended to be a bit older and to have dyslipidemia more frequently, the changes were not statistically significant. They also showed non-dipping pattern more frequently compared to non-SDB group (χFor RDN, Simplicity Flex™ catheter was used in 17 patients, Vessix™ Renal Denervation System – in 9 individuals, and Symplicity Spyral™ Renal Denervation system – in 2 subjects.
