Abstract
One of the typical features of Takayasu's arteritis is the preponderance of the disease in young women. The incidence of renovascular hypertension is high among patients with Takayasu's arteritis.
We present a 39-year old woman with Takayasu's arteritis who was first hospitalized in the Department of Hypertension, Institute of Cardiology in 1992. We describe diagnostic procedures and successful treatment of the patient during 11 years of follow-up.
