Homocysteine and pulsatility index of cerebral arteries.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A pulsatility index (PI) represents vascular resistance distal to an examined artery. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate an association between plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) and PIs of the cerebral arteries in patients with ischemic stroke. METHODS Consecutive patients with ischemic stroke referred to a neurovascular ultrasound laboratory were evaluated...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Assessment of Pulmonary Arteries Pulsatility Index in Fontan Circulation
BACKGROUND Late complications after Fontan procedure may be due to the absence of pump and pulsatile pulmonary blood flow in this type of palliation. Our aim was to quantify the degree of pulsation by echocardiographic method in patients with extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection (ECTCPC) in comparison with biventricular circulation and few cases of pulsatile Fontan. METHODS In a case s...
متن کاملUterine artery pulsatility index in hypertensive pregnancies: When does the index normalize in the puerperium?
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA PI) of hypertensive pregnancies is higher than that of normal pregnancies in the puerperium, as well as in the antepartum period. METHODS The UtA PI was measured in hypertensive (group 1) and normal pregnancies (group 2) during antepartum, immediate postpartum or late postpartum periods. Using the transvaginal approach...
متن کاملFetal middle cerebral artery and umbilical artery pulsatility index: effects of maternal characteristics and medical history.
OBJECTIVE To define the contribution of maternal variables which influence the measured fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) and umbilical artery (UA) pulsatility index (PI) in the assessment of fetal wellbeing. METHODS Maternal characteristics and medical history were recorded and fetal MCA-PI and UA-PI (n = 36,818) were measured in women with singleton pregnancies attending a routine hospital...
متن کاملNormal value of pulsatility index of umbilical artery in second and third trimester of pregnancy.
This cross sectional study was carried out on 60 pregnant Bangladeshi women in the department of Radiology and Imaging, BIRDEM for measurement of Pulsatility Index (PI) of umbilical artery of their fetuses by duplex colour Doppler sonography during 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancies. Considering total 2nd and 3rd trimesters the mean PI value of umbilical artery was 1.24 (SD +/- 0.27). While c...
