Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a frequently overlooked clinical entity that can cause progressive renal failure and uncontrolled hypertension. Revascularization of a stenosed renal artery is associated with improved clinical outcomes including the prevention of renal failure. Thus, it is important to recognize all potential candidates for renal artery revascularization. In a general population referred for diagnostic cardiac catheterization, RAS of any severity was found in 30% of patients and significant stenosis (> or = 50% diameter narrowing) was found in 15% of patients. The number of minority groups is increasing in the US population, and RAS in this population is not well investigated. Our purpose was to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with RAS in minority patients referred for diagnostic cardiac catheterization.
