Structural and functional arterial abnormalities in fibromuscular dysplasia are in the continuum of hypertension: an imaging and biomechanical study

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic non-inflammatory arterial disease of unknown origin. We previously showed the presence of  triple signal (TS) at ultrasound within common carotid artery (CCA) wall. We aimed at coupling TS presence with microconstituents of the vessel wall.
