Abstract

Review of accumulated data in the medical literature on renovascular hypertension underscores the lack of uniformity of opinion regarding important clinical characteristics, indications for evaluation, screening and definitive diagnostic tools, and choice of therapeutic options. Much of this lack of uniformity stems from the collection Of data in preselected and screened subgroups of the hypertensive population, the lack of standardization of diagnostic methods, the continuous introduction of new diagnostic tools, and the heterogenicity of results from respective methods of management. This review summarizes available data pertaining to renovascular hypertension and serves as a reference from which areas of controversy may be identified and subsequently resolved.
