The ophthalmic artery resistive index as a predictor of choriocapillaris ischemia in multivariate logistic models

Objective Vascular findings in preeclampsia are usually attributed to increased vascular tone. Recently, however, important studies have improved the understanding of main pathophysiological events this condition, especially brain remodeling, impaired autoregulation, and damage blood-brain barrier, which well recognized features cerebral overperfusion. Methods In study, association between choriocapillaris ischemia with ophthalmic artery blood flow parameters on orbital Doppler ultrasound is reported for first time using multivariate logistic models.
