MITRAL STENOSIS COMPLICATED BY RENAL ARTERY EMBOLISM
Six patients with mitral stenosis complicated by renal artery embolism studied prospectively are presented. In five patients there was unilateral and in one patient bilateral renal artery involvement. The diagnosis was confirmed by intravenous pyelography, retrograde pyelography, renal angiography, renal scan or a combination of these. All had atrial fibrillation, proteinuria and elevated ...
متن کاملDiabetes and coronary artery disease impose similar cardiovascular morbidity and mortality on renal transplant candidates.
BACKGROUND In renal transplant candidates (RTC), diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD) are commonly observed. However, whether diabetes imparts a cardiovascular risk equivalent to that of CAD and whether CAD adds to the cardiovascular risk associated with diabetes is unknown. METHODS To assess the interplay between diabetes and CAD as a determinant of major adverse cardiovascular events ...
متن کاملRenal artery stenosis: a cardiovascular perspective.
BACKGROUND Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is an important clinical entity that can lead to uncontrolled hypertension and progressive renal failure. The most common causes of RAS are atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia. Because the diagnosis of renovascular hypertension is established only when revascularization of a stenosed renal artery results in cure or improvement in patients hypertens...
متن کاملChronic renal disease and risk of cardiovascular morbidity-mortality.
The pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease in CKD differs subtly from that of non-CKD patients. As renal function declines, the role and impact of treating classical risk factors may change and diminish. However, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia and smoking cessation management should be optimized and may require multiple agents and approaches, particularly as CKD advances. Hypertension trea...
