Insights

This comprehensive guide updates fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) diagnosis and management, harmonizing European and US expert consensus. It offers clinical recommendations and registry data for this arterial disease.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Nephrology
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare, non-atherosclerotic arterial disease affecting multiple vascular beds.
  • Previous consensus documents from 2014 require updating to reflect current knowledge and clinical practice.
  • Harmonization of European and US expert opinions is crucial for standardized FMD management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide updated, comprehensive guidance on the diagnosis and management of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD).
  • To harmonize clinical recommendations between European and US experts.
  • To present new data from FMD registries and propose future research directions.

Main Methods:

  • Consensus-based clinical recommendations developed by European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and Society for Vascular Medicine (SVM) working groups.
  • Inclusion of a consensus protocol for catheter-based angiography and percutaneous angioplasty for renal FMD.
  • Analysis of data from the European/International FMD Registry and updated data from the US FMD Registry.

Main Results:

  • Presents harmonized, consensus-based clinical recommendations for FMD diagnosis and management.
  • Includes a standardized protocol for diagnostic angiography and interventional procedures in renal FMD.
  • Provides novel insights from FMD registry analyses, enhancing understanding of disease prevalence and outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • This document serves as an updated, authoritative resource for clinicians managing patients with fibromuscular dysplasia.
  • The harmonized recommendations and registry data facilitate improved patient care and clinical decision-making.
  • Identifies critical areas for future research to further elucidate the pathophysiology and treatment of FMD.

Internal Energy02:00

Internal Energy

The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy (U), sometimes symbolized as E. Suppose a system with initial internal energy, Uinitial, undergoes a change in energy (transfer of work or heat), and the final internal energy of the system is Ufinal. Change in internal energy equals the difference between Ufinal and Uinitial.

Internal Energy01:29

Internal Energy

The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the molecules or entities in the system. The kinetic energy of an individual molecule includes contributions due to its rotation and vibration, as well as its translational energy. The potential energy is associated only with the interactions between one molecule and the other molecules of the system. Neither the system's location nor its motion is of any consequence as far as the internal...

Internal Receptors01:31

Internal Receptors

Many cellular signals are hydrophilic and therefore cannot pass through the plasma membrane. However, small or hydrophobic signaling molecules can cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane and bind to internal, or intracellular, receptors that reside within the cell. Many mammalian steroid hormones use this mechanism of cell signaling, as does nitric oxide (NO) gas.

Nursing Diagnosis01:22

Nursing Diagnosis

Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
The nursing diagnosis focuses on evidence-based...

International System of Units01:29

International System of Units

The International System of Units, known as the SI system, is a universally accepted measurement system recognized and used worldwide. The SI system is based on a set of three base units considered absolute, and their values do not change with location. These base units are meters, kilograms, and seconds.
Prefixes are used to define both larger and smaller quantities in the SI system. For example, milli, micro, and nano define smaller quantities, while kilo, mega, and giga are used to define...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I

A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.
There are thirteen domains...
