THE ASSOCIATION OF RENAL ARTERY CALCIFICATION WITH HYPERTENSION IN COMMUNITY-LIVING INDIVIDUALS: THE MULTI-ETHNIC STUDY OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS

Hypertension (HTN) is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Renal artery calcium (RAC) may signal the presence of flow-limiting atherosclerotic disease that may contribute to changes in the kidney’s regulation of blood pressure. We hypothesized that RAC is independently associat...
