Claim One:
1. A method for catheter-based renal neuromodulation of a human patient with a diagnosed condition comprising at least one of heart failure, hypertension, acute myocardial infarction, impaired renal function, or chronic renal failure, the method comprising: intravascularly positioning a first catheter comprising a single first electrode within a first renal blood vessel of a human patient and proximate to neural fibers that innervate a first kidney of the patient; and inhibiting neural communication along the neural fibers innervating the first kidney via radio frequency (RF) energy from the first electrode; intravascularly positioning a second catheter comprising a single second electrode within a second renal blood vessel of the patient and proximate to neural fibers that innervate a second kidney of the patient; and inhibiting neural communication along the neural fibers innervating the second kidney via RF energy from the second electrode, wherein inhibiting neural communication along the neural fibers innervating the first and second kidney significantly improves a measurable physiological parameter corresponding to the diagnosed condition of the patient.
