Cardiovascular complications are the main cause of death in hypertensive patients. They occur more often in tobacco smokers. The effect of nicotine activity is insulin resistance leading to lipid disorders which are risk factor for atherosclerosis. Smoking and hypertension intensify the atherogenic

In recent years atheromatous renal artery stenosis has been proposed as a common and potentially preventable cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Occlusive renal artery disease causes renal failure that can be reversed following successful revascularization, but this scenario is relatively rare.

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) can accelerate or generate progressive hypertension and renal dysfunction. The goals for treating patients with RAS are to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality attributable to elevated arterial pressure and to preserve renal function beyond critical stenosis.

Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis is a form or peripheral arterial disease that tends to affect older subjects with hyperlipidemia, history of tobacco use, and who have other coexistent forms of vascular insufficiency. An abdominal bruit on physical exam can be a helpful clue. Slowly

Hypertension and tobacco smoking are two major modifiable risk factors for atheromatous disease and its cardiovascular complications. If systolic hypertension (SBP≥140mmHg and DBP<90mmHg) is the leading risk factor for stroke, smoking (nicotine) has a more powerful impact on coronary events, aortic

The purpose of this study was to find out a relationship between cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and abnormal results of Duplex Doppler sonography (DD), suggesting renal artery stenosis (RAS). The group of 30 potentially healthy men (age: 35.5 +/- 7.9) randomly selected from population of 200

OBJECTIVE The use of endovascular techniques to treat renal artery stenosis (RAS) has increased in recent years but remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to review the outcomes and durability of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTA/S) for patients with RAS and

The Canadian Hypertension Education Program reviews the hypertension literature annually and provides detailed recommendations regarding hypertension diagnosis, assessment, prevention, and treatment. This report provides the updated evidence-based recommendations for 2015. This year, 4 new

PTE is defined as hematocrit >51% or hemoglobin >17 g/dL after renal transplantation. Risk factors include native kidneys with adequate erythropoiesis pretransplant, smoking, renal artery stenosis, and cyclosporine treatment. We report the case of a 14-yr-old female kidney transplant patient, with

Hypertension is a common disorder which affects over 40 million individuals in the United States alone. Systemic (idiopathic) hypertension is particularly prevalent in elderly women who seem to tolerate this affliction better than their male counterparts. Women with hypertension should be cautioned
