The procedure \u2013 also known as\u00a0the\u00a0Symplicity\u2122 blood pressure procedure &#8211; is approved for use as an adjunctive treatment in patients with high blood pressure (or\u00a0hypertension) when lifestyle changes and antihypertensive medications do not adequately control blood pressure.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hypertension is the single largest contributor to death,1 and affects about 50% of U.S. adults. Of the U.S. adults who are aware of their hypertension, about 80% do not have it under control.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The\u00a0Symplicity\u00a0blood pressure procedure is clinically proven to help reduce high blood pressure,\u00a0which can lower serious health risks.\u00a0After mild sedation, the doctor inserts a very thin tube into the artery leading to the kidney. The doctor then administers energy to calm the excessive activity of the nerves connected to the kidney. The tube is removed, leaving no implant behind.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">High blood pressure is a significant problem for patients all around the world. For people with hypertension, medication and\/or lifestyle changes can help reduce blood pressure, but studies have shown that many people still\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0have control over their condition. The\u00a0Symplicity\u00a0blood pressure procedure can provide patients with a blood pressure reduction benefit that is \u2018always on\u2019 and\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0require a permanent implant \u2013 it can also help patients regain their peace of mind. We are pleased to have treated our first patient with this\u00a0new technology,\u00a0and we look forward to the future of hypertension care by offering innovative solutions to the people of\u00a0Jamaica, Queens.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Jamaica Hospital\u2019s Hypertension Center provides the highest quality, patient-centered hypertension care.
