Abstract:
Objecfive To analyze the relationship between aortic root dimension(ARD)and anterior circulation infarction(ACI)by measuring ARD of ACI patients.Methods The ARD of 110 ACI patients(56 men and 54 women)were measured with 2-dimensional uhrasonography during ventricular systole.66 control subjects(32 men and 34 women)without the clinical signs of cerebral infarction or organic heart disease and cardiac insufficiency were selected after carrying out detailed cage history inquiring.physical examination,CT or MRI and ultrasonic examination.ResultsARD in men and women Was respectively(29.80±2.35)mm and(28.88±3.06)mm in the ACI group.While it was(27.64±1.70)mm and(26.98±1.60)mm respectively in the control subjects.ARD in men and women was significantly higher in the ACI group as compared with the control subjects(P＜0.01).Logistic regression analysis indicated that the odds ratio(confidence interval)associated with ARD Was 1.630(1.205-2.204)in men and 1.494(1.098-2.033)in women for ACI.Conclusions There is a close relationship between ARD and ACI.ARD is an important risk factor of ACI.
