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 کاملArterial pulsatility as an index of cerebral microangiopathy in diabetes.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study was designed to evaluate cerebral hemodynamic changes related to diabetes mellitus (DM) with transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD). METHODS We measured the flow velocities and the Gosling pulsatility index (PI) of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA), and basilar artery (BA) in 56 stroke-free, normotensive patients...
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 کاملUterine artery pulsatility index at 30-34 weeks' gestation in the prediction of adverse perinatal outcome.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential value of uterine artery (UtA) Doppler at 30-34 weeks' gestation in the prediction of adverse perinatal outcome. METHODS This was a screening study in 30 780 singleton pregnancies at 30-34 weeks. UtA pulsatility index (UtA-PI) was measured and the values were converted to multiples of the median (MoM) after adjustment for variables relating to maternal ch...
