Overview
Why use ultrasound for Renal Denervation (RDN)?
The Science of Ultrasound Renal Denervation brings together four experts to introduce ultrasound renal denervation technology. This one-hour educational program walks you through the core concepts and the pre-clinical evidence used to refine the design that led to the ultrasound renal denervation technology.
