Abstract

Objective To evaluate the forecasting value of renal scintigraphy (ECT) on the diagnosis of renovascular hypertension (RVH). Methods Twenty-four cases of coronary heart disease and hypertension were selected. All of them were suspected of RVH. They underwent ECT and renal arterial angiography (RAA). Results The 24 cases were diagnosed as RVH. The diagnostic sensitivity of renal scintigraphy in RVH was 83.3% (P0.01). Conclusion ECT is a noninvasive and effective examination to diagnose RVH.
