متن کاملAtherosclerotic renal artery stenosis: association with emerging vascular risk factors.
BACKGROUND The established risk factors for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) include hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, obesity, smoking, old age and family history. In the last few years, several emerging risk factors have been proposed as predictors of ARAS, namely homocysteine, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, lipoprotein(a) and creatinine.

متن کاملRenal artery revascularization improves heart failure control in patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND Renal artery stenosis (RAS) impacts the pathogenesis and control of heart failure (HF) and may further contribute to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in HF patients. However, the long-term effects of renal artery revascularization on cardiovascular outcomes in HF patients are not well studied. METHODS The prevalence of HF and its effects on all-cause mortality were ...
