Carotid blood velocity during cough studies in man.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Utilizing a Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter catheter, right carotid artery blood velocity was measured during 91 coughing episodes in 16 patients. Such coughing reduced carotid blood velocity by 40 +/- 22% (control = 34 +/- 8 cm per second, cough = 20 +/- 9 cm per second, p less than 0.001). There was an insignificant low degree of corrleation between the level of simultaneously recorded mean right pressure and the percent decline of peak carotid blood velocity, suggesting that impaired venous return was not the only factor responsible for the observed changes. It is concluded that (1)coughing diminishes phasic carotid blood velocity and (2)reduced cerebral perfusion may play a role in the pathogenesis of cough syncope.

Measuring the Nitroglycerine-Induced Vasodilation in Carotid Arteries
Introduction: Nitroglycerin is a fast-acting drug that rapidly dilates coronary arteries and thus increases blood flow to these vessels, and increases the blood flow through the lateral vessels to low blood areas. It also reduces both end diastolic pressure and volume of the left ventricular. However, the effect of nitroglycerin on the circulation hemodynamic is not known. Caro...
متن کاملVibration Analysis of Carotid Arteries Conveying Non-Newtonian Blood Flow Surrounding by Tissues
The high blood rate that often occurs in arteries may play a role in artery failure and tortuosity which leads to blackouts, transitory ischemic attacks and other diseases. However, vibration and instability analysis of carotid arteries are lacking. The objective of this study is to investigate the vibration and instability of the carotid arteries conveying blood under axial tension with surrou...
متن کاملCase Reports Critical Carotid and Vertebral Arterial Occlusive Disease and Cough Syncope
Background and Purpose: Cough syncope typically occurs in patients with known chronic lung disease. The mechanism usually involves a combination of decreased venous return, increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure, and secondary hypocapnia, all resulting in cerebral arterial vasoconstriction. Cough syncope has not in the past been associated with occlusive cerebrovascular disease. Case Descriptio...

متن کاملReport of a Variation of the Right Common Carotid Artery
Carotid artery is the most important artery that carries the major part of the blood supply to the head and neck. The branching of the common carotid artery usually occurs at the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage. The placement of carotid sinus has also increased its importance in this area. Considering the clinical importance of knowledge about carotid artery variations, this case is reporte...
