Could careful patient selection for renal denervation warrant a positive effect on arterial stiffness and left ventricular mass reduction?
Our study is characterised by strict and extensive patient selection criteria for renal artery sympathetic denervation (RASD), which seem to warrant a positive effect of the procedure on BP, arterial stiffness and left ventricular mass 6 months after RASD, although it should be confirmed in larger controlled trials.
Low maternal 25(OH)D levels appear not only to be associated with an increase in the prevalence of allergic sensitization but also the risk of eczema and asthma in early childhood.
