ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar la asociación existente entre las manifestaciones ateroescleróticas carotídeas y la osteoporosis, en pacientes con enfermedad cerebrovascular oclusiva (ECVO). Método: Estudiamos 115 pacientes con diagnóstico clínico tomográfico de ECVO desde junio 2007 a junio 2009, a los que se les realizó ultrasonido Doppler color carotídeo y densitometría de columna lumbosacra y caderas. Resultados: No hallamos correlación entre el valor de la densidad mineral ósea (DMO) y la magnitud del daño aterosclerótico carotídeo; encontramos correlación moderada positiva entre el índice de masa corporal y la DMO. La mayoría de los factores de riesgo se asociaron con incremento del grosor íntima media, índice aterogénico aumentado y baja prevalencia de estenosis significativa, así como osteopenia densito-métrica, siendo el envejecimiento y la hipertensión los factores predominantes. Conclusiones: La osteoporosis y las manifestaciones ateroescleróticas carotídeas en la ECVO no guardan relación, más allá de la presencia de factores de riesgo en común.


Objective: To determine the association between carotid atherosclerotic manifestations and osteoporosis in patients with occlusive cerebrovascular disease (OCVD). Method: From June 2007 to June 2009 115 patients with clinical tomographic diagnosis of ECVO, who underwent carotid artery-Color Doppler Ultrasound exams as well as lumbar spine and hip bone densitometry, were studied. Results: No correlation between the value of bone mineral density (BMD) and the magnitude of carotid atherosclerotic damage was observed. There was a moderate positive correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and BMD. Most risk factors were associated with increased intima media thickness, increased atherogenic index, low rates of significant stenosis, and densitometric osteopenia, with aging and hypertension as predominant factors. Conclusions: Despite the presence of shared risk factors, no correlation between osteoporosis and atherosclerotic manifestations in the carotid artery in OCVD was observed.
