Abstract
A method is provided, comprising: (1) applying an excitatory current to renal nerve fibers of a subject; (2) determining a change in a parameter of the subject in response to the excitatory current, the parameter being a fastest rate of increase in arterial pressure during a systolic upstroke of an arterial pressure wave of the subject; (3) in response to the change, deciding whether to ablate the renal nerve fibers; and (4) in response to the deciding, applying ablation energy to the renal nerve fibers. Other embodiments are also described.
