Renal artery duplex: Diagnosis, techniques and live scanning

11:30 AM - 12:55 PM

Abstract

Hypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular and renal disease, with renal artery stenosis (RAS) being a secondary cause of significant importance. This presentation explores the role of renal artery duplex, focusing on diagnostic accuracy, clinical applications, and limitations.

Key topics include haemodynamic principles, duplex criteria for stenosis, and the correlation between renal artery pathology and resistant hypertension.

This interactive session will include the live scanning, allowing for hands-on experience in image acquisition, technique optimization, and real-time interpretation.

The masterclass aims to develop diagnostic confidence and clinical decision-making in hypertensive patient management.
