Breakthrough against time bomb of high blood pressure (Australia)

"Melbourne, Australia, doctors have found a ground-breaking method to turn off the ticking time bomb of high blood pressure. Using a special catheter and radio waves to disable nerves in patients' kidneys, cardiac experts have dramatically reduced the blood pressure of those who live in constant fear of a stroke or heart attack. The team from the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, Monash University and St Vincent's Hospital have already treated 50 Victorians in a trial" - Herald Sun
