FMD Chat is an international, nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting those affected by fibromuscular dysplasia including patients, family members, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare, noninflammatory, nonatherosclerotic arterial disease. It may present at any age, but is more commonly discovered when the patient is between the ages of 20 and 60 years old. Patients may be asymptomatic and remain undiagnosed; however, the disease may cause arterial stenosis, occlusion, aneurysm, and/or dissection. FMD most commonly impacts the renal and carotid arteries, though it has been identified in almost every arterial bed. FMD is considered a rare disease. In the U.S., a disease is defined as rare if it is believed to affect fewer than 200,000 Americans, according to the National Organization of Rare Disorders. A disease or disorder is defined as rare in Europe when it affects less than 1 in 2,000. The disease, like the majority of rare diseases, has no cure.
