Association of plasma aldosterone concentration with peripheral artery disease in hypertensive patients: insights from a large cross-sectional analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Sensitivity and subgroup analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings.ConclusionThis study establishes a non-linear relationship between PAC and the prevalence of PAD in hypertensive patients, with a critical threshold at 17.00ng/dl. PAD was diagnosed based on an ankle-brachial index (ABI) of 0.90.

Abstract 016: Endovascular Coiling of a Left L3 Radicular Artery Mycotic Aneurysm

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Postoperatively, the patient was hypertensive to a systolic blood pressure of 220 mmHg that was controlled with a nicardipine infusion that was gradually weaned off once the patient’s vitals were stable while in the Neuro‐ICU. There was no opacification of the aneurysms at the end of the procedure and no procedural complications (Figure 1D).
