Title: The Role of Renal Denervation in Improving Outcomes of Catheter Ablation in Patients With Refractory Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation and Resistant Hypertension
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is the comparative evaluation of systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering, atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence and clinical data in patients with paroxysmal/persistent AF and resistant hypertension, undergoing AF ablation alone or combined with percutaneous renal denervation.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Individual is ≥ 20 and ≤ 80 years old at time of randomization.
* Individual is receiving a stable medication regimen including full tolerated doses of 3 or more anti-hypertensive medications of different classes, of which one must be a diuretic (with no changes for a minimum of 6 weeks prior to screening) that is expected to be maintained without changes for at least 6 months.
* Individual has an office systolic blood pressure (SBP) of ≥ 160 mmHg based on an average of 3 blood pressure readings measured at both an initial screening visit and a confirmatory screening visit
* Individual agrees to have all study procedures performed, and is competent and willing to provide written, informed consent to participate in this clinical study.

Exclusion Criteria highlights:

* Individual has an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of \< 45 mL/min/1.73 m2
* Individual has an Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) 24 hour average SBP \< 135 mmHg
* Individual has type 1 diabetes mellitus
* Individual requires chronic oxygen support or mechanical ventilation (e.g., tracheostomy, CPAP, BiPAP) other than nocturnal respiratory support for sleep apnea.
* Individual has primary pulmonary hypertension.
* Individual is pregnant, nursing or planning to be pregnant.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Refractory hypertension: 3 or more antihypertensive agents of different classes (including a diuretic) at optimal dosage without change in the 4 weeks preceding randomization
* Systolic blood pressure of 135-149 and/or diastolic blood pressure of 90-94 mmHg (ABPM mean daytime values)
* No change in blood pressure medication within 6 months after randomization
* Age 18 to 75 years
* Informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* Blood pressure outside range mentioned above
* Renal, aortic or pelvic anatomy unsuited for renal sympathetic denervation
* Estimated glomerular filtration rate \<45 mL/min/1.73 m² (modification of diet in renal disease formula)
* Unstable angina pectoris
* Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to randomization
* Planned surgery or cardiovascular intervention within 6 months after randomization
* Severe heart valve disease
* Severe comorbidities with limited life expectancy
* Pregnancy
* Participation in another trial
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* systolic blood pressure \>=160mmHg (\>=150 mmHg for type 2 diabetics);
* on 3 or more antihypertensive medications
* \>= 18 and =\< 85 years of age.

Exclusion Criteria:

* renal artery abnormalities
* eGFR \< 45mL/min
* MI, angina, CVA within 6 months
* Type 1 diabetes
* ICD or pacemaker, or any other metallic implant not compatible with MRI
* others
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Symptomatic drug-refractory AF (with history of failure of ≥2 class I or III antiarrhythmic drugs) in patients referred for catheter ablation of AF
* PAF with ≥1 monthly episodes or PersAF in patients who had already undergone ≥3 electrical cardioversions. PAF was defined as episodes lasting less than 7 days with spontaneous termination. PersAF was defined as lasting more than 7 days before being terminated pharmacologically or by electrical cardioversion.
* Office-based systolic blood pressure of ≥160 mm Hg, despite treatment with ≥3 antihypertensive drugs (including 1 diuretic)
* A glomerular filtration rate ≥45 mL/min/1⋅73 m2, with modification of diet using a renal disease formula

Exclusion Criteria:

* Previous atrial fibrillation ablation
* Type 1 of diabetes mellitus
* Structural heart disease
* Secondary cause of atrial hypertension
* Severe renal artery stenosis or renal arteries abnormalities
* Previous operations on renal arteries
* Pregnancy
* Previous heart, kidney, liver, or lung transplantation
* Unwillingness of participant
