The relationship of fibroblast growth factor 23 with calcification of the thoracic aorta according to the results of multislice computed tomography in patients with resistant arterial hypertension
Abstract:Objective: to evaluate the incidence and severity of thoracic aortic calcification, the relationship with endothelial dysfunction and fibroblast growth factor in patients with resistant arterial hypertension.Materials and methods: the study involved 92 patients with resistant hypertension. Daily monitoring of blood pressure (ABPM) was performed, the functional state of the endothelium was assessed in a sample with reactive hyperemia, the calcium index (CI) of the thoracic aorta was determined using MSCT, and t… Show more
