Abstract
Objective: Renal artery stenosis (RAS) which is a potentially reversible cause of hypertension and renal insufficiency is associated with poor prognosis in ischemic stroke patients. The inter-arm blood pressure difference (IABD) is independently related to the atherosclerosis of the arteries. This study was to evaluate the relationship of RAS with IABD in ischemic stroke patients.
Materials and methods: This study was a cross-sectional observational study of consecutive patients with ischemic stroke who had not a history of RAS. Abdominal aortography was performed to screen for RAS after the cerebrovascular diagnostic procedure. RAS was defined as the presence of ≥50% stenosis in either renal artery. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to investigate the association of the clinical variables including IABD with RAS.
Results: RAS and systolic IABD ≥ 10 mmHg were detected in 62 (14.7%) and 142 (33.6%) of all ischemic stroke patients (n = 422), respectively. Patients with systolic IABD ≥ 10 mmHg were more likely to have RAS than patients without (59.7 vs 29.2%, P < 0.001). The logistic regression analysis showed that systolic IABD ≥ 10 mmHg was independently associated with RAS (odds ratio, 3.67; 95% confidence interval: 2.02-6.65; P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Measuring SBP between arms may help identify individuals with RAS in ischemic stroke patients.
期刊介绍:
Blood Pressure Monitoring is devoted to original research in blood pressure measurement and blood pressure variability. It includes device technology, analytical methodology of blood pressure over time and its variability, clinical trials - including, but not limited to, pharmacology - involving blood pressure monitoring, blood pressure reactivity, patient evaluation, and outcomes and effectiveness research.
This innovative journal contains papers dealing with all aspects of manual, automated, and ambulatory monitoring. Basic and clinical science papers are considered although the emphasis is on clinical medicine.
Submitted articles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors without further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
