چکیده

The intraocular pressure (IOP), the intraocular pulse to pressure (pulse/pressure) relationship, and the ophthalmic arterial pressure have been measured in 20 patients with either unilateral or bilateral hemodynamically significant lesions of the internal carotid arteries (ICA) as determined from arteriography. Studies were repeated in 5 of hte patients after surgical endarterectomy on the obstructed ICA. In age matched normal subjects the pulse/pressure relations were symmetrical in pairs of eyes, and the ophthalmic arterial systolic pressure was 89.0 +/- 2.1 mm Hg; this was 66 +/- 1% of the brachial arterial systolic pressure. In 19 of 20 patients with carotid occlusive disease in this study the IOP, pulse amplitudes and the pulse/pressure relationships differed in pairs of eyes. The ophthalmic arterial systolic pressure on the sides with 95 to 100% ICA stenosis was 49.9 +/- 4.05 mm Hg, which was 33 +/- 3% of the brachial arterial systolic pressure. In the remaining eyes the degree of stenosis of the ipsilateral ICA was 36.5 +/- 7.9%; the corresponding eyes had an ophthalmic arterial systolic pressure of 70.f1 +/- 51.18 mm Hg, which was 45 +/- 4% of the brachial arterial systolic pressure. Endarterectromy of the occluded arteries caused a significant increase in the ophthalmic arterial pressure on the ipsilateral side and a smaller increase in the contralateral eye; these changes were associated with a statistically significant increase in the intraocular pulse and improvement in the pulse/pressure relation.

Doppler ophthalmic blood pressure measurement in the hemodynamic evaluation of occlusive carotid artery disease.

In 102 patients with angiographically proven occlusive carotid artery disease of 60-100% diameter reduction, Doppler ophthalmic artery pressure and blood flow direction were recorded by the recently developed ophthalmomanometry-Doppler technique. Among these 102 patients, 50 presented with complete carotid artery occlusions and 52 with carotid artery diameter stenoses of greater than or equal t...

A prospective masked study of the Langham Ocular Pressure Pulse Amplitude Procedure was made on 20 patients with arteriographically-confirmed completely patent carotid arteries (Group 1) and on 20 patients with either unilateral or bilateral stenoses of the internal carotid arteries (Group 2). The results are compared to similar studies previously reported on 20 patients with radiographically c...

The ocular pulse and intraocular pressure as a screening test for carotid artery stenosis.

The ocular pulse and applanation tension were measured with a recording applanation tonometer in 38 patients suspected of having internal carotid artery stenosis. Abnormalities of the ocular pulse amplitude, intraocular pressure, or combinations of these two measurements were found in 23 (82%) of 28 patients who were subsequently found to have angiographic evidence of 50% or more stenosis of on...
