Serum Lipids in Renal Artery Stenosis and Other Hypertensive States: I. Abdominal Aorta, Renal Arteries and Fasting Serum Lipid Levels

Atherosclerotic Renovascular Disease: Epidemiology and Clinical Manifestations

“…Lipid profi les in ARVD patients follow the same pattern as in patients with coronary or carotid atheroma, with signifi cantly reduced apolipoprotein A1 levels [ 47 ]. Other studies have shown increased levels of free-fatty acids (glycerol-glyceride) in patients with ARVD [ 48 ], though this may have more important implications for mortality than development of atheroma [ 49 ]. However, intervention with statins has been shown to prevent anatomical progression of RAS in a retrospective study, which provides some support to the pathogenic effect of hypercholesterolemia in renal atherogenesis [ 50 ].…”

Myocardial Infarction in Early Age

“…Breckenridge (6) has shown the high frequency of hyperuricemia in hypertensive disease and especially so in the presence of coronary and cerebrovascular manifestations. In the atherosclerotic, proximal type of renal artery stenosis Hood et al (14,16) found significantly higher triglyceride levels and an exaggerated response to a fat load as compared with other varieties of hypertensive disease, thus illustrating a new facet in the interrelations between hypertension and atherosclerosis.…”
