Participants will learn how to suspect renovascular hypertension, identifying key indicators such as resistant hypertension, unexplained renal function decline, and sudden-onset hypertension in younger or older patients. Recognizing these signs early can facilitate timely intervention and prevent complications. The session also focuses on diagnostic methods, including imaging techniques like Doppler ultrasound, CT angiography, and magnetic resonance angiography, which help assess renal artery narrowing and confirm the diagnosis. Understanding these tools is essential for accurate identification of the disease. Finally, the webinar covers treatment approaches, ranging from medications to control blood pressure to interventional procedures like angioplasty or surgical revascularization. Participants will gain insights into selecting the most appropriate management strategy based on disease severity and individual patient needs.
