Follow on Google News | National Fibromuscular Registry Offers New Insights into Fibromuscular DysplasiaFibromuscular Dysplasia affects as many as 5% of the population; mainly women. The National Fibromuscular Dysplasia Registry aims to solve many unanswered questions about the condition. Data from the registry is just starting to come out.
By: Angiologist.com Here are a few examples to show how little is known about this condition. Fibromuscular dysplasia is a condition well known to be associated with various vascular complications.It is also known that treatment of renal lesions caused by fibromuscular dysplasia is different than treatment of renal artery narrowing caused by atherosclerosis. On the other hand no one really knows how to treat similar lesions in other arteries. It is commonly believed that balloon angioplasty should also be used in other symptomatic arterial beds, but there is no hard evidence to support this. Another example of the relative lack of knowledge regarding fibromuscular dysplasia pertains to its etiology. While there are well defined pathological subtypes of fibromuscular dysplasia, little is known about the actual etiology of the condition. A third example of the lack of knowledge regarding fibromuscular dysplasia involves aspirin. Most vascular medicine doctors taking care of patients with fibromuscular dysplasia prescribe aspirin to prevent blood clots from occurring. But this is not really based on any hard evidence. It is just something that is done. No one has ever proven that this habit should be continued. The National Fibromuscular Dysplasia Registry is poised to answer questions about the presentation of the disease, about its natural history and most importantly about the value of various treatments.
