Amaç: Yüksek kan basıncının karotis arterler üzerinde istenmeyen etkilere yol açtığı iyi bilinmesine ragmen bu etkinin hangi değerden itibaren başladığı net değildir. Bu çalışmanın amacı bunu değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Çalışma kesitsel planlandı ve toplam 308 birey dahil edildi. Sistolik kan basıncı (SKB) 0.05) ancak grup 3 ile 1 arasında anlamlı fark vardı (p135,5 mmHg olmasının%78,2 sensitivite, %74,6 spesifite, DKB>86,5 mmHg olmasının %79,3 sensitivite ve %71,6 spesifite ile karotis distensibilitesini etkilemeye başladığı bulundu. Benzer olarak SKB>137,5 mmHg olmasının %80,4 sensitivite, %73,1 spesifite, DKB>88,5 mmHg olmasının ise %79,1 sensitivite ve %73,8spesifite ile karotis elastisitesini etkilemeye başladığı gösterildi. Sonuç: Karotis distensibilitesi ve elastisitesi kan basıncının artışı ile azalmaktadır. Yüksek-normal kan basıncına sahip bireylerde belirli bir kan basıncı değerinden sonra karotis hasarı başlıyor olabilir.

Although it is well known that obesity increases the risk of atherosclerosis in carotid arteries, it is not clear whether this risk changes after obesity surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate whether weight reduction with a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has any effect on distensibility and elasticity which show subclinical atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries of obese individuals. This prospective study included 130 patients (body mass index (BMI) 48.21 ± 6.97 kg/m2) who underwent LSG. The patients were followed up for 1 year. Comparisons were made of the distensibiliy and elasticity values calculated preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, postoperatively. There was a statistically significant increase in distensibility and elasticity values from baseline to 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively (p

Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of access to the femoral artery for the purposes of coronary angiography through the measurement of femoral artery distensibility and elasticity on the accessed and non-accessed sides. Material and methods: This cross-sectional study included patients who underwent femoral angiography at least 1 year previously. Those whose femoral artery was accessed once formed Group 1 (n = 59), those who were accessed twice formed Group 2 (n = 57), those accessed 3 times formed Group 3 (n = 55), and those with more than 3 accesses, Group 4 (n = 60). The groups were compared in respect of femoral artery elasticity and distensibility in the accessed and non-accessed sides. Results: No statistically significant difference was determined in respect of femoral distensibility and elasticity in Group 1 (9.40 ± 0.84 vs 9.48 ± 0.75, p = 0.107 and 0.23 ± 0.03 vs 0.23 ± 0.03, p = 0.433, respectively). However, a significant difference was observed between the two sides in terms of distensibility and elasticity in Group 2 (9.02 ± 0.81 vs 9.23 ± 0.75, and 0.21 ± 0.02 vs 0.22 ± 0.02), in Group 3 (8.49 ± 0.77 vs 9.18 ± 0.9 and 0.19 ± 0.02 vs 0.21 ± 0.02), and in Group 4 (8.14 ± 0.74 vs 9.03 ± 0.81 and 0.16 ± 0.01 vs 0.2 ± 0.02, p
