Renal fractional flow reserve: a hemodynamic evaluation of moderate renal artery stenosis. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2005; 64(4); 480-6.R. Subramanian, C. J. White, K. Rosenfield et al., "Renal fractional flow reserve: A hemodynamic evaluation of moderate renal artery stenoses," ...
AS = aortic stenosis; AV = aortic valve; CABG = coronary artery bypass graft; CAD = coronary artery disease; LA = left atrial; LVDD = left ventricular diastolic diameter; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; LVSD = left ventricular systolic diameter; MI = myocardial infarction; RA = ri...
Left ventricular ejection fraction < 40%, significant contralateral carotid artery occlusion or stenosis and renal insufficiency were identified as significant predictors of the primary endpoint (p < 0.03).Carotid artery stenting with embolic protection systems in patients at high risk for carotid ...
fails to determine whether the lower extremity arteries have severe stenosis or occlusion. This pseudo-normalized ABI result may lead to a missed diagnosis of LEAD. However, the “gold standard” for the diagnosis of LEAD is digital subtraction angiography (DSA). This requires an invasive examinati...
Long term use of valsartan has not been studied in patients with unilateral or bilateral renal artery stenosis. Because the drugs that affect the renin angiotensin aldosterone system may increase the serum creatinine or blood urea nitrogen in patients with unilateral or bilateral renal arte...
Patients: 102 of the total of 129 patients (mean age 55.2 years) having any form of secondary hypertension except renal artery stenosis were recruited from 18 centres in 10 countries. Mild hypertension was defined as a sitting diastolic blood pressure (SiDBP) of 95 to 105mm Hg, moderate ...
not negligible adverse effect burden. They need to be introduced cautiously if plasma renin is likely to be raised, and in the elderly, both circumstances in which first dose hypotension may occur. They can depress renal function in cases of bilateral renal artery stenosis and in cardiac failure...
A target NCL in this study was defined as 5-mm segment which was 3 mm distal from ostium of each coronary artery (LAD, LCX, RCA), with percent diameter stenosis \50 % on quantitative coronary angiography (QCA). And also, a target NCL must be at least 10-mm proximal to the stented...
Therefore, the onset and LV dysfunctional state secondary to myocardial remodeling in patients with predominantly severe AI may be qualitatively different from aortic stenosis. From this perspective, the present study was remarkable in having focused specifically on LV remodeling and FMR in AVR patients...
