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 کاملPlasma Total Homocysteine Level Is Associated with the Pulsatility Index of Cerebral Arteries in Lacunar Infarction
PURPOSE The pulsatility index (PI), measured by transcranial Doppler (TCD), is a surrogate marker for distal vascular resistance in cerebral arteries, and elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcyt) is regarded as a cause of ischemic stroke, including lacunar infarction. We investigated the relationship between the PI of cerebral arteries and plasma tHcyt in patients with lacunar infarction. M...
متن کاملCollagen and elastin content in canine arteries selected from functionally different vascular beds.
The amount of collagen and elastin in normal canine arteries was determined biochemically in nine different sites. The total collagen and elastin ranges from 58 to 75$ of the weight of the dry defatted artery. Reasons are adduced to propose that the expression of results as the ratio of collagen to elastin (C/E) is a useful index of the relative distensibility for the maintenance tension of art...
متن کاملEffects of medetomidine on intra-renal arteries resistive and pulsatility indices in clinically normal adult domestic shorthair cats
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of intramuscular injection of medetomidine on intra-renal arteriesresistive and pulsatility indices by duplex Doppler ultrasonographyin clinically normal adult domestic shorthair cats. For this purpose, twenty-six neutered adult healthy domestic shorthair cats (13 females and 13 males) were evaluated. B-mode, color Doppler and pulsed wave Doppl...
