Techniques for assessing a physiological profile of a patient include advancing a catheter shaft of a bifurcated renal catheter system into an aorta of the patient, deploying branches of the bifurcated renal catheter system into the renal arteries of the patient, detecting a renal arterial physiological parameter with a sensing mechanism, and assessing the physiological profile of the patient based on the physiological parameter. Related techniques include modifying or initiating pharmacological or surgical treatments for the patient based on the assessment. |
