Abstract

Fibromuscular dysplasia is the most common cause of renovascular hypertension in young patients. Digital subtraction angiography is still the best investigation used to determine the location, extent and complication of renal artery involvement. String of beads appearance (reflecting multiple stenoses), aneurysms, focal or tubular stenosis are classic angiographic appearances. The aim of this pictorial essay is to illustrate the various imaging findings of renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
