Abstract
Interval decreases in left ventricular mass were observed following renal artery revascularization, while diastolic function was largely unchanged. Regression of LVH has been associated with reduced mortality and cardiovascular morbidity, and further investigation is required to understand the long-term effects of renal revascularization on survival and ventricular function. Assessment of cardiac function in the setting of symptomatic renal artery stenosis should include evaluation for diastolic dysfunction, which may represent the predominant form of target organ damage in patients with this diagnosis.
