CardioNerds (Daniel Ambinder and Amit Goyal) join Dr. Arielle Schwartz (Emory University cardiology fellow), Dr. Joshua Zuniga (former Emory vascular medicine fellow and now USC cardiology fellow), and Dr. Patrick Zakka (UCLA cardiology fellow) from the Emory University School of Medicine. They discuss a case of a young woman with new onset hypertension refractory to 3 antihypertensive agents who is ultimately diagnosed renovascular hypertension due to fibromuscular dysplasia complicated by saccular aneurysm. Dr. Bryan Wells (Director of Vascular Medicine at Emory University) provides the ECPR for this episode. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy intern, Dr. Christian Faaborg-Andersen.
