Table 2 Clinical variables of patients with combined chronic heart failure and chronic kidney disease, according to severity of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis by magnetic resonance angiography

From: Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis is prevalent in cardiorenal patients but not associated with left ventricular function and myocardial fibrosis as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging

 

No stenosis (n = 16)

Unilateral stenosis 50-70% (n = 5)

Unilateral stenosis >70% (n = 8)

Bilateral stenosis >50% or previous bilateral PTA (n = 8)
