There have been many different techniques and methods of ablating renal sympathetic nerves, with the simplicity trial proving to be the most effective and efficient4. During the symplicity HTN-1 trails, 153 patients over 19 different site around the world received renal sympathetic using the symplicity catheter2. The…

Rhabdomyolysis Pathophysiology, Risk Factor, Manifestations, and treatment Rhabdomyolysis is potentially life-threatening disease that rapidly breaks down the muscle fibers that causes the release of intracellular contents into the extracellular space and bloodstream. Physical interruptions in the sarcolemma membrane, called delta lesions, suggest that the sarcolemma membrane is the route through which muscle constituents are released (McCance & Huether, 2014). Rhabdomyolysis is an increase in…
