Hypertension affects up to 58.4 million people in the United States and is one of the most common diseases worldwide, with well known morbidity and mortality. The vast majority of patients who have hypertension, approximately 90% to 98%, have essential hypertension without structural lesions or ...
We report the case of a 30-year-old Chinese man with right ureter malformation and stenosis of the entire right renal artery. We discuss how to distinguish between inconsistencies in CTA results and DSA findings. Interobserver variability is an important factor that leads to such inconsistencies ...
Ultrasound Doppler data are routinely used in the clinical diagnosis of degree of stenosis in the renal artery. In this study the effect of fat layers on maximum velocity estimations was determined using both a Doppler string and flow phantom. Using an ATL HDI 3000 with two broadband transducers...

How is stenosis different from peripheral artery disease? How does hemophilia affect the circulatory system? Anemia is a common finding in AKI. Why is treating anemia important for this patients? What does a high RDW and a low MCHC mean?
9 Because the normal gradient of venous pressure from the LRV to the IVC is considered to be <1 mm Hg, a gradient of >1 mm Hg, but typically >3 mm Hg, is considered to support a diagnosis of NCS.18 However, it is possible for symptomatic NCS patients to have a gradient of <3 ...
not prescribed for pregnant women because they may cause birth defects. Individuals with bilateralrenal artery stenosis(narrowing of the arteries that supply the kidneys) may experience worsening of kidney function, and people who have had a severe reaction to ACE inhibitors probably should avoid them...
suggest that the presence of pulmonary venous obstruction—as can be seen in patients with pulmonary venous stenosis, mitral stenosis or regurgitation, and elevated left atrial pressure as a result of left ventricular failure—was a more important predictor of severe PH than was the diagnosis itself...
to iodinated contrast medium, either due to a prior severe allergic type reaction or poor renal function. Another subgroup of patients with low flow and low gradient aortic stenosis is being recognized that are usually assessed for severity of aortic stenosis by stress echocardiography. There are ...
