Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis, mediating biomarkers, and risk of cardiac among individuals with hypertension: A real-world study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is commonly associated with cardiovascular diseases(CVD). Patients with ARAS typically present with cardiac structural and functional abnormalities, and the differences in cardiac structure and function compared to hypertensive patients without ARAS remain to be explored.

Methods

A total of 499 hypertensive patients were included, of whom 134 had ARAS and 365 had no renal artery stenosis (RAS). Parameters about cardiac function and structure detected by echocardiography and other clinical data are collected. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression and mediation analysis were performed on the collected data.

Results

Compared to hypertensive patients without ARAS, those with ARAS had significantly in
