RESUMO
Objective To evaluated the relationship of ambulatory pulse pressure and severity intracranial arterial stenosis. Methods 165 ischemic stroke patients with intracranial arterial stenosis were selected as stenosis group. And 142 patients with no obvious intracranial arterial stenosis were selected as control group. All patients were given ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. 24 h average systolic pressure ,diastolic pressure and ambulatory pulse pressure were measured. Results Ambulatory pulse pressure of stenosis group[(73.02 ± 10.86)mmHg]was significantly higher than that of control group[(59.63±12.96)mmHg,P<0.01]. Ambulatory pulse pressure of mod-erated stenosis group[(69.73±9.3)mmHg,P < 0.05]was significantly higher than that of control group[(59.63± 12.96)mmHg,P<0.01]. Ambulatory pulse pressure of severe stenosis group[(77.36±7.94)mmHg]was signifi-cantly higher than that of moderate stenosis group[(69.73±9.3)mmHg,P < 0.05]. The level of ambulatory pulse pressure was independent risk factors of intracranial arterial stenosis(OR value:1.092). Conclusions Ambulatory pulse pressure is significantly related to the severity of intracranial arterial stenosis and is an independent risk factor for intracranial arterial stenosis.
