Evidence for carotid and radial artery wall subclinical lesions in renal fibromuscular dysplasia.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Fibromuscular dysplasia (FD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory arterial disease of unknown cause, and most frequently affects the renal and internal carotid arteries. Our objectives were to determine whether quantitative and qualitative lesions could be detected by high-resolution echotracking techniques at two arterial sites generally considered as free of echographic lesions: the common...
