title: [Clinical use of magnetic resonance tomography in the assessment of vital organs in malignant arterial hypertension].
abstract: Magnetic resonance tomography was performed to examine the kidneys, brain, adrenals, vessels, and heart in 110 patients with malignant arterial hypertension (MAH). The findings were compared with those of the examination of healthy subjects and patients with benign hypertensive disease (BHD). As compared to the controls, all the MAH patients had changes in the target organs, however, their nature and magnitude varied with under underlying MAH disease. Renal alterations were most profound in chronic glomerulonephritis. All the patients displayed signs of concentrated cardiac hypertrophy: its maximum degree being noted in renovascular hypertension, the least, in MAH of adrenal genesis. Examination of the central nervous system in MAH patients revealed that the ventricular system and subdural space were dilated. It was shown that it was feasible to diagnose hypertrophic encephalopathy in the prehospital period by employing magnetic resonance tomography.
