| | Angioprim, cardiovascular cleansing by oral chelation |
 | | Angioprim helps re-establish the hormone balance responsible for the balancing act between contraction and relaxation of arterial walls and promoting the free flow of blood. | | | Angina (or Angina pectoris) is chest and arm pain that is a warning, indicating your heart isn't getting enough oxygen because critical arteries are blocked with plaque. | | | Extensive Medical research and testing has verified the effectiveness. |

| | eMedicine - Renal Artery Stenosis : Article by Bruce S Spinowitz, MD, FACP |
| | Renal blood flow is 3- to 5-fold greater than the perfusion to other organs because it drives glomerular capillary filtration. | | | These 2 approaches showed similar operation risk (mortality rate 4.8-5.3%); however, functional improvement (ie, blood pressure, serum creatinine level) and patency of the renal artery were dramatically better in the surgical group compared to the revascularization group after nearly 4 years of follow-up. | | | This review explores the natural history of this disorder, the value of a variety of invasive and noninvasive diagnostic procedures, and the consequence of allowing the artery to remain obstructed versus reversing renal artery occlusion. |

| | The underlying cause should also be investigated and treated. | | | This would include such things as infection, toxins and autoimmune diseases. | | | Renal failure is when the kidneys fail to function properly. |

| | Often, it is discovered by your doctor during the treatment of hypertension that is particularly difficult to control. | | | In some circumstances, no treatment beyond routine follow-up with your doctor is required. | | | Renal artery stenosis can cause high blood pressure. |

| | Quantification of Renal Artery Stenosis |
| | Renovascular hypertension tends to be more difficult to control with pharmacological treatment, and is therefore more prone to incomplete treatment and resulting complications. | | | The search for tests for renal artery stenosis has led to the evaluation of a number of imaging techniques including captopril radionuclide renography, duplex ultrasound, and MR angiography, each of which has been shown to have significant limitations in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility. | | | Initial studies of CT angiography have reported sensitivities of 92-100% and specificities of 83-100% for significant renal artery stenosis. |
