The Blood Pressure Procedure, also known as RDN or renal denervation, is a procedure that may help lower blood pressure. It targets specific nerves near the kidneys that can become overactive and cause high blood pressure. The procedure works by delivering energy to these overactive nerves to decrease their activity.
