Article Synopsis
- - The European/International Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) Registry has enrolled 1,022 patients from 22 countries since December 2015, primarily focusing on their characteristics by disease subtype, age, and gender.
- - The study found that the majority of patients were women (82%), with key findings like 86% being hypertensive, and a distinction in profiles between multifocal and focal FMD cases, particularly regarding gender, age, and prevalence of related complications.
- - Independent predictors for more severe forms of FMD, such as multivessel presence and risk of aneurysms or dissections, were identified, highlighting the need for targeted screening and management strategies for affected patients.
Purpose: Smoking was identified as a potential factor contributing to fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). To evaluate the prevalence of smoking and clinical characteristics in FMD subjects.
Material And Methods: We analysed 190 patients with confirmed FMD in at least one vascular bed.
