Hypertension research
Many patients with high blood pressure try to follow a healthy diet, exercise, and take medications — yet their blood pressure is still high.
A/Prof Walton is coordinating the SPYRAL Hypertension study, a multi-centre, international, randomised, interventional study, using renal denervation. The purpose of the Trial is to provide information about the safety and efficacy of the investigational Symplicity Spyral™ catheter and the Symplicity G3™ generator to help reduce blood pressure. To be eligible for the Trial, patients must be between the ages of 20 and 80 and have uncontrolled hypertension, with readings of 150-180/90mmHg.
