Abstract:
Objective To conduct comparative study of vertebral artery blood flow of arteriosclerosis patients and healthy people using color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS),and to discuss the effect of arteriosclerosis on vertebral arterial blood flow.Methods Two hundred and eighty-five cases of vertebral artery test were collected and divided in to normal group of one hundred and thirty-five cases and vertebral artery sclerosis group of one hundred and fifty cases according to the presence of vertebral artery sclerosis.Time averaged maximum velocity (TAMV) and vertebral artery diameter(D) of vertebral artery were measured using CDUS technique.Unilateral vertebral artery blood flow and total blood flow were calculated.Results The vertebral artery TAMV and total blood flow of arteriosclerosis group was both lower than that of normal group (P＜0.05).Left side vertebral artery diameters of the two groups were higher than that of the right side.Conclusions Arteriosclerosis can reduce vertebral artery TAMV and blood flow.The inner diameter of the left side vertebral artery dominates the artery blood flow.
