Key result
Central pulse pressure and left ventricular Doppler blood flow indexes were significantly and positively associated with renal resistive index in a general population sample (P<0.0001).
Why the study?
Do Doppler indexes of left ventricular flow and central pulse pressure correlate with renal resistive index in a general population?
Cross-Sectional (n=171)
Do Doppler indexes of left ventricular flow and central pulse pressure correlate with renal resistive index in a general population?
p-value: p=<0.0001
Renal resistive index is significantly associated with central pulse pressure and left ventricular Doppler blood flow indexes, indicating that cardiac hemodynamic factors influence intrarenal arterial Doppler waveforms.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Associations indicate cardiac-renal hemodynamic links; leaves open causality and prospective validation before practice implications.
Kuznetsova et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in General population (n=171). Central pulse pressure and left ventricular Doppler blood flow indexes was evaluated on Renal resistive index (RRI) (p=<0.0001). Central pulse pressure and left ventricular Doppler blood flow indexes were significantly and positively associated with renal resistive index in a general population sample (P<0.0001).
