Relationship between Aortic Arch Calcification, Detected by Chest X-Ray, and Renal Resistive Index in Patients with Hypertension < br > < br >

In this study, the authors aimed to evaluate the relationship between Renal Resistive Index and aortic arch calcification in patients with hypertension. Materials and Methods: Patients with hypertension underwent a chest x-ray and renal Doppler ultrasound. They were divided into two groups according to the Renal Resistive Index (Group I: Renal Resistive Index ≥ 0.70, Group II: Renal Resistive Index
