"This book provides a general overview of renal denervation, describing recent studies, current devices, approaches, and possible limitations. ... The audience is healthcare providers with an interest in treating patients with resistant hypertension, such as cardiologists and nephrologists. ... The figures and tables are well designed and helpful. An extensive list of references concludes chapters. This is a thoughtful, well-written reference on this specific area in the field of hypertension." (Jon Webb, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2015)
