Abstract:
The invention relates to a system ( 1 ) for stimulating renal nerves of a renal artery of a subject ( 3 ). The system comprises a stimulation device ( 12, 17, 28 ) for stimulating the renal nerves, a measuring unit ( 20 ) for measuring the blood pressure and/or the heart rate of the subject at at least two times, wherein at least one of these times is during or after the stimulation of the renal nerves, and a subject suitability determination unit ( 14 ) for determining whether the subject is suitable for a renal sympathetic denervation procedure based on the measured blood pressure and/or the measured heart rate. The invention allows therefore for a preselection of subjects which are suitable for a renal sympathetic denervation procedure.

Claim (Index 4):
The system as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the subj ect suitability determination unit is adapted to determine that the subject is suitable for the renal sympathetic denervation procedure, if the blood pressure change parameter indicates that the blood pressure has increased by at least 20 percent and/or if the heart rate change parameter indicates that the heart rate has increased by at least 10 percent.
