The prognostic significance of renal resistive index in essential hypertension.
To the Editor: I read with great interest the paper by Doi et al that was very recently published in Hypertension. The authors demonstrated that, after a mean follow-up period of 3.1 years, renal resistive index (RI) has been found to be an independent predictor of worse cardiovascular and renal outcomes in essential hypertensive patients. Although the study is informative, some additional data...
متن کاملDeterminants and Prognostic Significance of the Renal Resistive Index
Background: The noninvasive assessment of renal hemodynamics is currently possible by assessing the renal resistive index (RRI) derived from intrarenal Doppler arterial waveforms as (peak systolic velocity – end-diastolic velocity)/peak systolic velocity. In this review, we outline the important determinants of the RRI to clarify the true identity of the RRI and highlight its potential diagnost...
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...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in essential hypertension.
OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the prognostic value of alterations in left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in patients with essential hypertension. BACKGROUND Alterations in LV diastolic function are frequent in patients with hypertension, even in the absence of LV hypertrophy, but their prognostic significance has never been investigated. METHODS In the setting of the Progetto Ipertens...
