ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar los valores de referencia de la dinámica circulatoria arterial ocular de los pacientes con hipertensión arterial esencial. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal en 105 pacientes hipertensos y en un grupo de 33 sujetos no hipertensos, con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 60 años, sin antecedentes de padecer diabetes mellitus ni enfermedades oculares como glaucoma, o haber recibido tratamiento quirúrgico por catarata, hipertensión ocular u otras. A todos se les realizó la toma de la presión arterial sistémica, el examen clínico oftalmológico y el ultrasonido Doppler a color de carótida y de los vasos orbitarios. Resultados: Se encontró un predominio de mujeres de piel blanca, entre la cuarta y quinta década de la vida. Existió un incremento del pico de velocidad sistólica, la velocidad final diastólica y el índice de resistencia en la arteria oftálmica, que fue desde un rango normal en el grupo de los no hipertensos a valores promedios elevados en el grupo de hipertensos, los cuales fueron más altos en los casos descontrolados. No se encontraron modificaciones en el análisis de estos parámetros en las arterias centrales de la retina ni en las ciliares posteriores cortas. Conclusiones: En la casuística estudiada, el incremento del pico de la velocidad sistólica en la arteria oftálmica pudiera estar relacionado con áreas de obstrucción vascular localizadas o con vasoespasmo. Se encontró una asociación entre el descontrol de la presión arterial y los valores elevados del índice de resistencia en la arteria oftálmica(AU)


ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate the reference values for ocular arterial circulation dynamics in patients with essential arterial hypertension. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted of 105 hypertensive patients and a group of 33 non-hypertensive subjects aged 18-60 years with no antecedents of diabetes mellitus or ocular conditions such as glaucoma or having undergone cataract surgery, ocular hypertension or others. All the patients underwent systemic arterial pressure measurement, clinical ophthalmological examination and color Doppler carotid and orbital ultrasonography. Results: A predominance was observed of the female sex, white skin color and age between the fourth and fifth decades of life. There was an increase in peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity and the resistive index in the ophthalmic artery, which ranged from normal in the non-hypertensive group to high average levels in the hypertensive group, higher in uncontrolled cases. Analysis of these parameters did not find any change in central retinal or short posterior ciliary arteries. Conclusions: In the cases studied, the peak systolic velocity increase in the ophthalmic artery could be related to localized vascular obstruction areas or vasospasm. An association was found between uncontrolled arterial pressure and high resistive index values in the ophthalmic artery(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: La cirugía de cardiopatías congénitas puede generar alteraciones perfusorias cerebrales con repercusión neurológica. Objetivo: Analizar la relación del índice de resistencia (IR) vascular cerebral periquirúrgico con funciones neurológicas mediatas posteriores a cirugía de cardiopatía congénita. Método: Estudio de cohorte prospectivo de 34 neonatos en quienes se determinó IR de la arteria basilar, niveles séricos de oxígeno, dióxido de carbono y lactato, antes y después de procedimientos paliativos o correctivos. Relacionamos el IR prequirúrgico con la capacidad posquirúrgica para iniciar la vía enteral o restablecer la respiración espontánea no asistida. Resultados: Se integraron tres grupos: 17 neonatos con IR alto > 0.73, cinco con IR normal de 0.63 a 0.73 y seis con IR bajo < 0.63. En los primeros persistió IR alto en el posquirúrgico, con hiperlactatemia e hipoxia persistentes; en 86 % no se logró iniciar la vía enteral ni retirar la ventilación asistida. En los segundos, el IR se mantuvo en valores normales. En los terceros, si bien el IR, el lactato sérico y la presión arterial de oxígeno tendieron a normalizarse, 71 % presentó daño neurológico grave. Conclusiones: Los cambios en el IR fueron frecuentes, aunque el daño neurológico parece presentarse más cuando el IR se mantiene alto, posiblemente asociado a flujos cerebrales bajos.


Abstract Introduction: Surgery for congenital heart disease can generate cerebral perfusion-associated alterations with neurological repercussions. Objective: To analyze the relationship of peri-surgical cerebrovascular resistance index (RI) with mediate neurological functions after congenital heart disease surgery. Method: Prospective cohort study of 34 neonates in whom basilar artery RI, serum oxygen, carbon dioxide and lactate levels were determined before and after palliative or corrective procedures. We related pre-surgical RI with post-surgical ability to initiate the enteral route or to restore unassisted spontaneous breathing. Results: Three groups were formed: 17 neonates with high RI (> 0.73), five with normal RI (0.63-0.73) and six with low RI (< 0.63). In the former group, high RI persisted in the postoperative period, with persistent hyperlactatemia and hypoxia; in 86%, the enteral route could not be initiated, and neither could assisted ventilation be withdrawn. In the second group, IR remained within normal values. In the third group, although RI, serum lactate and arterial oxygen pressure tended to normalize, 71% had severe neurological damage. Conclusions: RI changes were common, although neurological damage appears to occur more commonly when RI remains high, possibly associated with low cerebral blood flow.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Analisar o valor do diagnóstico precoce de alterações hemodinâmicas em hemorragias e eventos hipóxico-isquêmicos pela avaliação de imagens e mensuração do índice de resistência por meio da ultrassonografia craniana com Doppler em neonatos prematuros de muito baixo peso. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Cinquenta neonatos prematuros de muito baixo peso foram submetidos a ultrassonografia craniana com Doppler com a técnica transfontanela anterior e transtemporal sequenciais. RESULTADOS: Foram detectadas alterações cerebrais em 32 por cento dos prematuros, sendo 22 por cento com hemorragia intracraniana, 8 por cento com leucomalácia periventricular e 2 por cento com toxoplasmose. Dentre os 34 casos (68 por cento), do total de neonatos, nos quais não foram detectadas lesões cerebrais pela ultrassonografia craniana, 18 (53 por cento) apresentaram alterações no índice de resistência. O índice de resistência variou conforme a época do exame. CONCLUSÃO: Existe correlação entre a presença de alterações na hemodinâmica cerebral e subsequente desenvolvimento de hemorragias e lesões hipóxico-isquêmicas, pela mensuração do índice de resistência. Alterações do índice de resistência, embora não preditoras de morte, estão relacionadas com a gravidade do quadro clínico em neonatos prematuros de muito baixo peso.


OBJECTIVE: The present study was aimed at analyzing the value of the early diagnosis of hemodynamic changes in hemorrhages and hypoxic-ischemic events in premature, very-low-birth-weight neonates through the evaluation of images and resistance index measurement by means of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty premature, very-low-birth-weight neonates were submitted to transcranial Doppler ultrasonography with sequential transfontanellar and transtemporal techniques. RESULTS: Cerebral abnormalities were detected in 32 percent of the neonates (22 percent with intracranial hemorrhage, 8 percent with periventricular leukomalacia, and 2 percent with toxoplasmosis). Among the 34 cases (68 percent) of neonates in whom no brain lesion was detected at transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, 18 (53 percent) presented changes in the resistance index. Such resistance index varied according to the time of the examination. CONCLUSION: There is a correlation between the presence of cerebral hemodynamic changes demonstrated by resistance index measurements and the subsequent development of hemorrhages and hypoxic-ischemic lesions. Although not being a death predictor, changes in the resistance index are associated with the severity of the clinical conditions in preterm, very-low-birth-weight neonates.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o significado do Doppler espectral por meio da obtenção do índice de resistência vascular na diferenciação entre lesões mamárias benignas e malignas. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Dezenove lesões malignas e 18 benignas, diagnosticadas por estudo histológico, foram submetidas previamente a análise de sua vascularização por meio do Doppler espectral para se obter o índice de resistência vascular. RESULTADOS: Observou-se diferença estatisticamente significante (p < 0,001) entre os valores médios do índice de resistência para os resultados benigno e maligno (0,62x 0,80, respectivamente), em nódulos maiores que 1 cm. Um índice de resistência 0,69 foi altamente associado a lesões malignas, com sensibilidade de 84,2 por cento, especificidade de 88,9 por cento, taxa de falso-positivo de 11,1 por cento e taxa de falso-negativo de 15,8 por cento. CONCLUSÃO: A análise do índice de resistência vascular pode fornecer grande auxílio na avaliação das lesões nodulares da mama maiores que 1 cm, em conjunto com as informações obtidas por meio da escala de cinzas, com elevada sensibilidade e especificidade.


OBJECTIVE: The present study was aimed at evaluating the role played by spectral Doppler as a method to measure the vascular resistance index in the differentiation between benign and malignant breast lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nineteen malignant and 18 benign lesions histologically diagnosed had their vascularization previously analyzed through the resistance index. RESULTS: A statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) was observed between the mean values of resistance index for benign and malignant lesions (respectively 0.62x 0.80) in nodular breast lesions greater than 1 cm. A resistance index 0.69 was highly associated with malignant lesions, with 84.2 percent sensitivity, 88.9 percent specificity, false-positive rate of 11.1 percent, and false-negative rate of 15.8 percent. CONCLUSION: The analysis of vascular resistance index combined with findings on grayscale sonographic images can be of great assistance in the assessment of nodular breast lesions greater than 1 cm, with high sensitivity and specificity.
