<International Circulation>:Resistant hypertension is a problem that many clinicians might face. Although we have a lot of newer， potent agents， resistant hypertension is still seen in practice. Apart from drug therapy， are there any novel new therapies for resistant hypertension and if so， when will they be readily available?

   《国际循环》：难治性高血压是很多临床医生面临的难题。尽管我们有很多新的强效的药物，临床上仍能见到难治性高血压。除了药物治疗，有新的方法治疗难治性高血压吗，如果有，什么时候可以惠及患者？

    Prof. Narkiewicz: The most promising one is the renal ablation of the sympathetic nerves. The first randomized study suggested this method might be really very effective in people with resistant hypertension. There are several other ongoing studies with this technique and indeed one day we will use this method for a larger proportion of our patients with resistant hypertension. We should not forget that in many cases of so-called resistant hypertension， it is actually just non-compliance and not a true resistant hypertension. We can still combine some of the drugs and in the vast majority of patients with difficult hypertension we are able to reduce blood pressure and maintain blood pressure control. The new developments are quite exciting.

    Narkiewicz教授：最有希望的是肾脏交感神经消融。首个随机研究表明这种方法对难治性高血压确实非常有效。关于这种方法，还有另外一些正在进行的研究，相信有一天我们会用这种方法治疗更多的难治性高血压患者。我们不能忘记，很多情况下所谓的难治性高血压，实际上仅仅是不依从，并非真正的难治
