Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory disease of the blood vessels that causes abnormal growth within the wall of an artery. [1] FMD has been found in nearly every arterial bed in the body, although the most commonly affected are the renal and carotid arteries. [1] [2] [3]
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (/ ˌ f aɪ b r oʊ d ɪ ˈ s p l eɪ ʒ (i) ə ɒ ˈ s ɪ f ɪ k æ n z p r ə ˈ ɡ r ɛ s ɪ v ə /; [1] abbr. FOP), also called Münchmeyer disease or formerly myositis ossificans progressiva, is an extremely rare connective tissue disease in which fibrous connective tissue such as muscle, tendons, and ligaments turn into bone tissue (ossification).
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the narrowing of one or both of the renal arteries, most often caused by atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia.This narrowing of the renal artery can impede blood flow to the target kidney, resulting in renovascular hypertension – a secondary type of high blood pressure.
That sound can signal carotid artery stenosis—narrowing of the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the brain—or the rare vascular disease fibromuscular dysplasia.
Arterial dysplasia is a term that refers to a group of conditions that affect the structure and function of the arteries. [1] One of the most common types of arterial dysplasia is fibromuscular dysplasia .
Fibrodysplasia may refer to: . Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, a rare disease in which fibrous tissue becomes ossified; Fibromuscular dysplasia, a disease characterized by the fibrous thickening of the renal artery
