These results suggest that cortical parameters are more sensitive for early diagnosis of ARD than kidney size. Cortical atrophy should be a useful marker for guidance for revascularization.

SH is a major and independent predictor of LV remodelling after anterior MI in non-diabetic patients.

In patients with large arms, use of an appropriately sized large cuff for home BP measurements led to a 2-fold reduction in masked hypertension. Regarding clinical and epidemiological implications, future studies investigating masked hypertension should specify cuff size for home BP measurements. The low market availability and increased cost of large cuffs should also be addressed.

We demonstrated significant cortical/medullary atrophy in poststenotic kidneys compared to contralateral normal kidneys. Despite intraparenchymal disease, clinical outcome was favorable after revascularization. Cortical/medullary thinning appears to be an early marker of renal ischemia that could support revascularization in FMD disease.
