ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
Renovascular hypertension is the most common form of secondary hypertension and generally leads to resistant hypertension. It is caused by the narrowing of the renal artery, which is the reason for hypoperfusion of the kidneys and consequent hypertension. The specialist must make a treatment decision that is specific to each patient and based on adequate diagnostics where imaging has a crucial place.
KEYWORDS / КЉУЧНЕ РЕЧИ:
Renovascular hypertension, imaging, atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia
