The correlation between ocular ischemic syndrome and carotid artery stenosis
Abstract：Objective To investigate the relationship between ocular ischemic syndrome and carotid artery stenosis.Methods The carotid atherosclerosis plaque and carotid artery stenosis( CAS) were evaluated using carotid artery color doppler flow imaging( CDFI) and computerized tomography angiography( CTA) in 140 patients with ocu-lar ischemic syndrome( OIS group) and in 140 healthy people( control group) .The risk factors of atherosclerosis were analyzed.Results The number of carotid plaques and CAS in the OIS group was significantly higher than that in the control group(128 vs 40,P<0.05 and 77 vs 24,P<0.05).Conclusion CDFI is an effective meansure for assess-ing vascular status.Appropriate intervention for risk factors of atherosclerosis may help in improving the prognosis.
