[PMID: 38177288 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-023-01540-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
The recent evidence regarding the effectiveness of renal denervation (RDN) in blood pressure control is becoming increasingly substantial. However, many studies have excluded populations with severely impaired kidney function, even though these individuals have a higher prevalence of hypertension compared to the general population, and controlling their blood pressure is more challenging. The effectiveness and safety of RDN in patients with severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) lack strong evidence support. Concerns about worsening kidney function still exist, particularly in patients with CKD stage 5. We conducted an observational study involving 10 patients who were using at least 3 different antihypertensive medications and had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 but had not undergone dialysis. For these patients, we performed RDN via the radial artery approach, with the assistance of carbon dioxide (CO2) angiography. Utilizing this approach, the systolic 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring did not exhibit a significant decrease at 3 months; however, a significant reduction was observed at 6 months after RDN. We also minimized contrast agent usage, observed no kidney function decline 3 months post-RDN, and experienced no vascular-related complications. Using the radial artery approach and CO2 angiography assistance for RDN may be an effective and safe blood pressure control method for patients with severe kidney impairment.

The Sympathetic Nervous System in Hypertensive Heart Failure with Preserved LVEF. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6486.

Abstract
The neurohormonal model of heart failure (HF) pathogenesis states that a reduction in cardiac output caused by cardiac injury results in sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation, that is adaptive in the short-term and maladaptive in the long-term. This model has proved extremely valid and has been applied in HF with a reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF). In contrast, it has been undermined in HF with preserved LVEF (HFpEF), which is due to hypertension (HTN) in the vast majority of the cases. Erroneously, HTN, which is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death worldwide and is present in more than 90% of HF patients, is tightly linked with SNS overactivity. In this paper we provide a contemporary overview of the contribution of SNS overactivity to the development and progression of hypertensive HF (HHF) as well as the clinical implications resulting from therapeutic interventions modifying SNS activity. Throughout the manuscript the terms HHF with preserved LVEF and HfpEF will be used interchangeably, considering that the findings in most HFpEF studies are driven by HTN.

Sequential afferent and sympathetic renal denervation impact on cardiovascular and renal homeostasis in the male Sprague-Dawley rat. Life Sci 2023; 325:121768. [PMID: 37169146 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.121768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
Renal denervation (RDNx) is emerging as a promising treatment for cardiovascular disease, yet the underlying mechanisms and contributions of afferent (sensory) and efferent (sympathetic) renal nerves in healthy conditions remains limited. We hypothesize that sympathetic renal nerves contribute to long-term MAP and renal function, whereas afferent renal nerves do not contribute to the maintenance of cardiovascular and renal function. To test this hypothesis, we performed two experiments. In experiment one, we performed total renal denervation (T-RDNx), ablating afferent and sympathetic renal nerves, in normotensive adult SD rats to determine effects on MAP and renal function. Experiment 2 employed a sequential surgical ablation using: (1) afferent targeted renal denervation (A-RDNx), then (2) sympathetic (T-RDNx) denervation to determine the individual contributions to cardiovascular and renal homeostasis. In experiment 1, MAP decreased following T-RDNx and GFR increased. In experiment 2, A-RDNx led to an increase in MAP but did not change renal function. In contrast, T-RDNx decreased MAP and improved renal filtration. Together, these data partially support our hypothesis that renal sympathetic nerves contribute to the chronic regulation of arterial pressure and renal function. Contrary to the hypothesis, A-RDNx produced an increase in MAP without a detected change in renal function. We concluded that renal sympathetic nerves influence MAP and renal function regulation through a well-defined tonic contribution to renal vascular resistance and sodium reabsorption, whereas afferent renal nerves likely contribute to the maintenance of MAP through a tonic sympatho-inhibitory, negative feedback regulation in the normotensive, healthy rat.

Sympathetic Denervation and Pharmacological Stimulation of Parasympathetic Nervous System Prevent Pulmonary Vascular Bed Remodeling in Rat Model of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2023; 10:jcdd10020040.

Abstract
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) develops in 1.5-2.0% of patients experiencing pulmonary embolism (PE) and is characterized by stable pulmonary artery obstruction, heart failure, and poor prognosis. Little is known about involvement of autonomic nervous system (ANS) in the mechanisms of CTEPH. This study was aimed at evaluation of the effect of vagal and sympathetic denervation, as well as stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, on the outcomes of CTEPH in rats. CTEPH was induced by multiple intravenous injections of alginate microspheres. Sympathetic and vagal denervation was performed using unilateral surgical ablation of the stellate ganglion and vagotomy, respectively. Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system was carried out by administering pyridostigmine. The effect of neuromodulatory effects was assessed in terms of hemodynamics, histology, and gene expression. The results demonstrated the key role of ANS in the development of CTEPH. Sympathetic denervation as well as parasympathetic stimulation resulted in attenuated pulmonary vascular remodeling. These salutary changes were associated with altered MMP2 and TIMP1 expression in the lung and decreased FGFb level in the blood. Unilateral vagotomy had no effect on physiological and morphological outcomes of the study. The data obtained contribute to the identification of new therapeutic targets for CTEPH treatment.

Renal Sympathetic Hyperactivity in Diabetes Is Modulated by 5-HT 1D Receptor Activation via NO Pathway. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24021378.

Abstract
Renal vasculature, which is highly innervated by sympathetic fibers, contributes to cardiovascular homeostasis. This renal sympathetic outflow is inhibited by 5-HT in normoglycaemic rats. Considering that diabetes induces cardiovascular complications, we aimed to determine whether diabetic state modifies noradrenergic input at renal level and its serotonergic modulation in rats. Alloxan diabetic rats were anaesthetized (pentobarbital; 60 mg/kg i.p.) and prepared for in situ autoperfusion of the left kidney to continuously measure systemic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR), and renal perfusion pressure (RPP). Electrical stimulation of renal sympathetic outflow induces frequency-dependent increases (Δ) in RPP (23.9 ± 2.1, 59.5 ± 1.9, and 80.5 ± 3.5 mm Hg at 2, 4, and 6 Hz, respectively), which were higher than in normoglycaemic rats, without modifying HR or SBP. Intraarterial bolus of 5-HT and 5-CT (5-HT1/5/7 agonist) reduced electrically induced ΔRPP. Only L-694,247 (5-HT1D agonist) reproduced 5-CT inhibition on sympathetic-induced vasoconstrictions, whereas it did not modify exogenous noradrenaline-induced ΔRPP. 5-CT inhibition was exclusively abolished by i.v. bolus of LY310762 (5-HT1D antagonist). An inhibitor of guanylyl cyclase, ODQ (i.v.), completely reversed the L-694,247 inhibitory effect. In conclusion, diabetes induces an enhancement in sympathetic-induced vasopressor responses at the renal level. Prejunctional 5-HT1D receptors, via the nitric oxide pathway, inhibit noradrenergic-induced vasoconstrictions in diabetic rats.
