This survey found that a significant proportion of patients would choose catheter-based RDN over lifelong pharmacotherapy. These patients were younger and more likely to be male but their expectation of the extent of BP decrease with RDN was high. Physicians are key mediators for treatment selection. They need to incorporate patient preferences into shared decision making.
