Transcranial Doppler를 利用한 腦硬塞 患者의 血流速度와 血管 反應性에 대한 臨床的 考察

Clinical study of the vasocreactivity and blood flow velocity of t he cerebral infarctions using Transcranial Doppler Sonography

Background : The vasoreactivity of cerebral artery is currently the subject of increasing interest. Transcranial Doppler Sonography(TCD) is an accurate method of monitoring the blood flow velocities of the cerebral artery. We wished to assess the vasoreactivity between age-matched normal and cerebral infarction group. Method : We performed TCD findings in 40 normals and 20 cb-inf. subjects who arrived at hospital during 48 hours after attack. The former were devided into twenties normal group and fifties normal group. Result : 1. Fibrinogen levels showed significant changes between age-matched normal and cb-inf. group. 2. $V^{MEAN}$ of the both side Carotid Siphon during rest state increased significantly in cb-inf. group as compared with the age-matched normal group. 3. $V^{MEAN}and\;V^{MAX}$ of the both side carotid siphon during breath-hold state increased significantly in cb-inf. group as compared with the age-matched normal group. 4. Vasoreactivity of cerebral artery increased significantly in cb-inf. group as compared with the age-matched normal group. 5. $V^{MEAN}and\;V^{MAX}$ of the both side Radial artery during heat-stimuration state increased significantly in cb-inf. group as compared with the age-matched normal group. 6. Vasoreactivity of Radial artery increased significantly in cb-inf. group as compared with the age-matched normal group.
