Abstract
Introduction

This study investigates the perceptions and knowledge of specialized Argentine physicians regarding renal denervation (RDN) as a treatment for resistant hypertension (R-HT).

Method

A survey was conducted among 206 physicians, mainly cardiologists and internists, to assess their awareness and perceptions of RDN. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman's Rho correlation.

Results

The survey revealed that 83% of the responders are aware of RDN. Despite this high awareness, only 60% believe in its safety, while 33.2% are uncertain, and 6.8% consider it unsafe. Significant correlations were found between the awareness of RDN and perceptions of its efficacy and safety.

Conclusions

The study highlights a gap between knowledge and confidence in RDN among specialized Argentine physicians. Continuous education and shared decision-making are crucial to improve the adoption of RDN in clinical practice. Long-term safety and efficacy data support RDN as a valuable tool for managing R-HT. Addressing safety concerns through targeted educational initiatives is essential.

Resumen
Introducción

Este estudio investiga las percepciones y el conocimiento de los médicos argentinos sobre la denervación renal (DR) como tratamiento para la hipertensión resistente.

Métodos

Se realizó una encuesta a 206 médicos, principalmente cardiólogos e internistas, para evaluar su conocimiento y percepciones sobre la DR. Los datos se analizaron mediante estadísticas descriptivas y la correlación de Spearman.

Resultados

La encuesta reveló que el 83% de los encuestados conocen la DR. A pesar del elevado conocimiento, solo el 60% confía en su seguridad, mientras que el 33,2% está incierto y el 6,8% la considera insegura. Se encontraron correlaciones significativas entre el conocimiento de la DR y las percepciones de su eficacia y seguridad.

Conclusiones

El estudio destaca una brecha entre el conocimiento y la confianza en la DR entre los médicos argentinos. La educación continua y la toma de decisiones compartidas son cruciales para mejorar la adopción de la DR en la práctica clínica. Los datos de seguridad y eficacia a largo plazo respaldan la DR como una herramienta valiosa para el manejo de la hipertensión resistente. Es esencial abordar las preocupaciones sobre la seguridad mediante iniciativas educativas dirigidas.
