Q

Skeletal muscular dysplasia, who is affected most and why do they have FMD

A

Women are affected. It has unkown origins but is related to hypertension. Fibrous thickening of intima, media, or adventitia. Usually bilateral. Can occur in carotids. Occurs in tje mid to distal segments of the renal arteries. (page 316 jo)

Q

What fear of food syndrome

A

Usually caused by occlusive disease at celiac, SMA, and IMA. Celiac >200 cm/s with post stenotic turbulance = >70% stenosis. SMA>275 cm/s with post stenotic turbulance= >70% stenosis (page 320 jo)
