May enhance lateralization agreement in renovascular hypertension; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
Does intravenous dihydralazine improve the agreement between ERPF and RVRA in detecting lateralization in patients with suspected unilateral renovascular hypertension?
Intravenous dihydralazine improves the diagnostic agreement between ERPF and RVRA for detecting lateralization in suspected unilateral renovascular hypertension, providing valuable preoperative information.
