Hypertension is a leading preventable cause of heart attack, stroke, and death.³ But medication and lifestyle modifications are not always enough to control it.

A novel approach to treating hypertension

The Symplicity blood pressure procedure complements medication and lifestyle changes to treat hypertension. But unlike medications, it maintains blood pressure (BP) reductions over a 24-hour period.^4-6

A graphic emphasizes that blood pressure reductions with this treatment last all day.

See how the Symplicity Spyral™ system works

The Symplicity Spyral™ renal denervation system supplies precisely controlled and targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy to the renal nerves, safely disrupting the overactive sympathetic signaling between the kidneys and brain to reduce blood pressure.⁷

Proven to reduce blood pressure⁴

The Symplicity blood pressure procedure is proven to achieve safe and clinically meaningful blood pressure reduction in the presence and absence of medications in multiple clinical trials and a real-world patient registry.^4-6,8

Explore the data

A graphical data point affirms this treatment reduced cardiovascular risks 26% in a patient registry.

Imagine the impact

Key findings from the GLOBAL SYMPLICITY REGISTRY found a 26% reduction in Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) risk with the Symplicity blood pressure procedure compared to a modeled control group.⁹

Lower pressure, lower risks

Professor Roland Schmieder, M.D., presents key findings on cardiovascular risk reduction after the Symplicity blood pressure procedure.
