Diffuse intimal fibromuscular dysplasia with multiorgan failure

Archives of Internal Medicine

Abstract

A woman presented with a rapid onset of hypertension, angina pectoris, peripheral vascular disease, renal involvement, and a large liver cyst. Surgical removal of the liver cyst precipitated renal and liver failure and a terminal arrhythmia. At autopsy, there was intimal fibromuscular dysplasia involving the arteries to the heart, liver, kidneys, and intestines and evidence of recent infarction of the intestines, kidney, and liver. This case illustrates that intimal fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) can be a diffuse and rapidly progressive disease. Some treatments currently being evaluated for preventing restenosis following angioplasty may find use in treating this uncommon disease.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
