Sarah Johnson, a 58-year-old high school...
Sarah Johnson, a 58-year-old high school principal, had managed hypertension for 15 years. Despite taking four different medications at maximum doses, her blood pressure remained stubbornly high, averaging 170/100 mmHg. She suffered from persistent headaches, fatigue, and a constant worry about having a stroke like her father did. Her internist, Dr. Evans, diagnosed her with Resistant Hypertension and recommended a renal denervation procedure, a minimally invasive treatment to disrupt overactive nerves around the kidneys that drive high blood pressure. Sarah was anxious but hopeful. The catheter-based procedure was done under mild sedation and took about an hour. She went home the same day with only minor groin discomfort. Over the next three months, her blood pressure gradually dropped to a stable 135/85 mmHg on just two medications. The relief was profound; the constant headache lifted, her energy returned, and the shadow of fear receded, replaced by a newfound sense of control over her health.
