Hypertensive Cardiovascular and Renal Disease and Target Organ Damage: Lessons from Animal Models.
This brief review discusses some aspects of hypertensive damage to the kidneys and cardiovascular system. A comparison of renal and cardiac manifestations of hypertensive disease between results of clinical and experimental studies was made, with a major focus on the possible role of salt and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in inducing target organ damage. Thus, some degree of renal impairme...
متن کاملRole of renal resistive index in unilateral acute renal obstruction, diabetic and hypertensive nephropathy
Background: Variation in Renal restive index (RI) values measured using duplex Doppler ultrasonography has been shown to correlate with the degree of renal impairment in acute renal obstruction ,diabetic and hypertensive nephropathy patients. Aims and objectives: The primary objective of this study was to determine whether the intrarenal resistive index can be used as a predictor of progression...
متن کاملImpact of Cardiovascular Organ Damage on Cortical Renal Perfusion in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure
INTRODUCTION Properly preserved renal perfusion is the basic determinant of oxygenation, vitality, nutrition, and organ function and its structure. Perfusion disorders are functional changes and are ahead of the appearance of biochemical markers of organ damage. The aim of this study was to evaluate a relationship between the renal cortex perfusion and markers of cardiovascular organ damage in ...
متن کاملHeart rate variability and target organ damage in hypertensive patients
BACKGROUND We evaluated the association between linear standard Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures and vascular, renal and cardiac target organ damage (TOD). METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed including 200 patients registered in the Regione Campania network (aged 62.4 ± 12, male 64%). HRV analysis was performed by 24-h holter ECG. Renal damage was assessed by estimated glomeru...
متن کاملRenal resistive index and cardiovascular and renal outcomes in essential hypertension.
Increased renal restive index (RI) measured using Doppler ultrasonography has been shown to correlate with the degree of renal impairment in hypertensive patients. We investigated the prognostic role of RI in cardiovascular and renal outcomes. A total of 426 essential hypertensive subjects (mean age, 63 years; 50% female) with no previous cardiovascular disease were included in this study. Rena...
