What Is Fibromuscular Dysplasia?
8. Complications
In addition to the symptoms already mentioned, fibromuscular dysplasia will also sometimes cause potentially serious complications. One of these is a high blood pressure that, itself, can lead to other severe complications. Anybody with a high blood pressure should see what can be done to help reduce it.
Aneurysms are another possibility. These are areas in blood vessels that have bulged outwards due to the artery walls being weaker than usual. An aneurysm can be fatal if it ruptures. Tears in the artery walls can also occur. If the arteries feeding the brain are affected, then it can also lead to a stroke, which will be fatal in some cases.
