Predictive value of variation in blood flow of the middle cerebral artery measured using transcranial Doppler sonography in patients with acute brain stroke
Journal Title: مجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهرکرد - Year 2007, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Background and aim: Transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) is a noninvasive, inexpensive, timesaving and portable imaging modality for localizing cerebral arterial pathology in patients with acute stroke especially in middle cerebral artery (MCA). The present study was aimed to evaluate the predictive value of MCA hemodynamics status for recovery outcomes one and six months after the first appearance of the disease. Methods: This a prospective study was performed on 102 patients with cerebral ischemia who referred to Sina hospital of Hamadan in 1384. TCD was done during 24 hours after the admission along with routine medical management. Patients with previous stroke, head trauma, death and unknown diagnosis were excluded. The patients were divided into three groups based on their TCD. The first group, those with normal symmetric blood flow, the second one, those with decreased non-symmetric blood flow and the third, those with decreased symmetric blood flow of MCA. The physical examinations were repeated one and six months later and the outcomes were recorded. Using Cruscal-Vali statistical test, the data were analyzed. Results: The mean of age in the patients was 65.39±12.67 and 48% of them were male. The motor function was improved significantly in the three groups (p
