近年来的几个关键发现重塑了我们对纤维肌肉发育不良(FMD)的理解，FMD是一种不常见的非动脉粥样硬化性中等动脉疾病，主要影响女性。虽然这种疾病的真实流行情况尚不清楚，但研究表明，受影响的人可能比之前报告的更多。对口蹄疫临床表现和自然病史的更好了解以及诊断成像的进步改变了这种罕见血管疾病患者的临床治疗方法。尽管关于口蹄疫还有许多未回答的问题，但这篇综述强调了最近的见解，以及这些信息如何改变了对受影响患者的临床护理。
Several key findings in recent years have reshaped our understanding of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), an uncommon nonatherosclerotic disease of medium-sized arteries that affects mainly women. While the true prevalence of this disease remains unknown, studies suggest that more people may be affected than previously reported. Better understanding of the clinical manifestations and natural history of FMD and advances in diagnostic imaging have altered the clinical approach to managing patients with this uncommon vascular disease. Although there are a multitude of unanswered questions regarding FMD, this review highlights recent insights and how this information has modified clinical care for those affected.
