Hypertension was induced in rats by either renal artery stenosis or a fructose-enriched diet, and the consequent changes in plasma glucose, insulin, and triglyceride (TG) concentrations, and the steady-state plasma insulin (SSPI) and glucose (SSPG) concentrations in response to a 180-min continuous
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the prevalence of incidental renal artery stenosis due to atherosclerosis and associated risk factors in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
METHODS
To determine renal artery stenosis, aortofemoropopliteal digital substraction angiographies (DSA) of 629 consecutive
OBJECTIVE
This study was undertaken to compare the epidemiologic and clinical features of renal artery stenosis (RAS) in black patients and white patients.
METHODS
Data on all patients identified with 50% or greater RAS from 1984 to 1990 were collected and analyzed. The study was conducted at the
BACKGROUND
Aging and atherosclerosis are related to renovascular hypertension in elderly individuals. Regardless of comorbidities, renal artery stenosis is itself an important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
OBJECTIVE
To define the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of Huanshuai Recipe Oral Liquid ([characters: see text], HSR) on retarding the progression of renal dysfunction in patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS).
METHODS
A total of 52 ARAS patients with the Chinese medicine (CM) syndrome of qi
BACKGROUND
Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is an important cause of renal disease in the elderly, and these patients have a high morbidity and mortality. There are no data on their blood lipid profiles.
METHODS
The lipoprotein profiles were examined in patients with proven ARAS and
BACKGROUND
Endovascular therapy for symptomatic atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is common and effective in the well-selected patient. Hypertension is a common indication for intervention and a major component of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The impact of MetS on outcomes after
OBJECTIVE
Recent studies indicate that adiponectin may have anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties, suggesting that hypoadiponectinemia can play a role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Therefore the aim of the study was to assess plasma adiponectin concentration in
OBJECTIVE
To retrospectively evaluate the role of clinical and procedural factors in predicting in-stent restenosis in patients with renovascular disease treated by renal artery stenting.
METHODS
From 1995 to 2002, 147 patients underwent renal artery stenting for the treatment of significant ostial
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and profile of renal artery stenosis (RAS) in NIDDM population with severe hypertension. 60 consecutive NIDDM with severe HT (> or = 3 hypotensive drugs), 42 F/18 M (SR: 2.8), mean age: 66.6 +/- 6.5 years, diabetes duration: 14.1 +/- 6 years have
Severe hypertension may lead to macroangiopathy complications especially when a major vascular risk factor as diabetes exists. We have studied the prevalence of macroangiopathy in a group of 40 consecutive NIDDM patients with severe hypertension (> or = 3 hypotensive drugs) (grS) that we have
BACKGROUND
Patients with chronic renal failure are characterized by an elevated plasma adiponectin concentration, which is significantly lowered after successful kidney transplantation. The direct renal clearance and extraction of adiponectin have not yet been documented in humans. Therefore the aim
OBJECTIVE
High renin or renovascular hypertension (RVH) has been associated with a higher risk of stroke than low-to-normal renin hypertension. Our present purpose was to investigate the angiographic prevalence and distribution of lesions of the supraaortic arteries in a series of consecutive
High renin hypertension has been associated with a higher risk of stroke than low-to-normal renin hypertension. Accordingly, we investigated prospectively the prevalence of the extracranial carotid artery lesions in a case-control study of 70 patients (38 women and 32 men, aged 16 to 77 years)
OBJECTIVE
Cellular fibronectin is an endothelium-derived protein involved in subendothelial matrix assembly. Elevated plasma levels of cellular fibronectin therefore reflect loss of endothelial cell polarization or injury to blood vessels. Consequently, elevated plasma levels of circulating cellular
