Hypertension | Genetic: Geneticure for RDN Genetic Panel |
The objective of this study is to assess if renal denervation (RDN) effectiveness using the Symplicity SpyralTM multi-electrode renal denervation system is associated with ranked genomic scoring from the Geneticure multi-gene algorithm for renal denervation. The present study will assess if subjects who have a high genetic score, based on the hypothesized importance of the organ systems involved, will have differential responsiveness to RDN in a descending order. The genetic scoring is collectively ranked in a specific order, in that:
- Subjects with a "high level of general functionality" (functionality in the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), cardiac, vascular (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)), and renal system genotypes will be most responsive to RDN.
- Subjects with high number of functional genotypes of SNS, cardiac, and RAAS will be the next most responsive group.
- Subjects with functionality in genotypes of SNS and cardiac systems will demonstrate the next most responsive group.
- Subjects with functionality in the SNS genotypes will demonstrate some degree of responsiveness.
- Subjects with functionality in the renal system, but not SNS, cardiac, nor RAAS, will be the least responsive to this therapy.

RDN Patients
Patients who have received renal denervation with the Medtronic SymplicitySpyral device will have DNA collected in using a buccal swab.

Genetic: Geneticure for RDN Genetic Panel
This retrospective trial will include the collection of DNA using buccal swabs and the assessment of 22 genotypes for scoring to assess response to renal denervation |
- Correlation between genetic scoring and RDN effectiveness using office blood pressure [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Change in office blood pressure (mmHg) from baseline to post- renal denervation procedure in subjects who have met the primary efficacy endpoints in the Symplicity Spyral studies (3-months for the HTN-OFF MED trial and 6-months for the HTN-ON MED trial) according to ranked genetic score values.
- Correlation between genetic scoring and RDN effectiveness using ambulatory blood pressure [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Change in ambulatory blood pressure (mmHg) from baseline to post- renal denervation procedure in subjects who have met the primary efficacy endpoints in the Symplicity Spyral studies (3-months for the HTN-OFF MED trial and 6-months for the HTN-ON MED trial) according to ranked genetic score values.
