ACTA ENDOCRINOLOGICA (BUC)

Renovascular disease and primary hyperaldosteronism are among the leading causes of high blood pressure in young adults. Collaboration between cardiologists and endocrinologists is crucial in addressing the underlying causes of resistant hypertension. In this article, we provide updated information on the clinical context in which renal artery stenosis is suspected, and the appropriate investigation methods for confirmation. The decision to revascularize is based on the etiology of the stenosis, patient age, and comorbidities. In brief, we aimed to provide a cardiologist's perspective on a significant contributor to secondary hypertension.
