Two novel invasive therapeutic strategies for the treatment of resistant hypertension, have recently emerged, carotid baroreceptor stimulation and renal denervation. Both are effective in reducing elevated blood pressure values and display a good tolerability profile without the occurrence of any major untoward effect. A third choice, immunization against components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a potential therapeutic alternative under investigation.Downloads
