Lead Sponsor:
Abbott Medical Devices
Conditions:
Metabolic Syndrome
Eligibility:
All Genders
18-70 years
Phase:
NA
Brief Summary
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to determine the effects of renal sympathetic denervation on insulin resistance and muscle sympathetic nerve activity in patients with metabolic syndrome.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Patient with office blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure ≥130/80 mmHg at Baseline despite the stable use of at least two anti-hypertensive drugs at maximum tolerated doses of the patient for at least 4 weeks
- Patient with a fasting glucose ≥100 mg/dL (≥5.6 mmol/L) at Baseline or on drug treatment for elevated glucose
- Patient with a waist circumference ≥102 cm (≥40 inches) for male or ≥88 cm (≥35 inches) for female at Baseline
- Patient with any of the remaining two metabolic syndrome diagnostic criteria listed as follows at Baseline
- Triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL (≥1.7 mmol/L) or on drug treatment for elevated triglycerides
- High density lipid cholesterol (HDL-C) \<40 mg/dL (\<1.03 mmol/L) for male or \<50 mg/dL (\<1.30 mmol/L) for female or on drug treatment for reduced HDL-C
- Patient is ≥18 and ≤70 years old
- Patient must be able and willing to provide written informed consent to participate in this clinical investigation
