ÖZET

Amaç: Amorozis fugaks yakınması olan hastaların kardiyovasküler hastalık taşıma riski açısından de­ğerlendirilmesi planlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimize bu yakınmayla başvuran 20 hastanın transtorasik ekokardiyografi ve ka­rotis ar­ter Doppler ultrasonografi incelemeleri yapılmıştır. Hastaların tam oftalmolojik muayeneleri ya­pıl­mış, eşlik eden sistemik hastalıklar açısından sorgulamalarını takiben serum lipid profilleri çı­ka­rıl­mış­tır.
Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 49.8±14.5 (sınırlar:20-72) olan hastaların 12’si kadın (%60), 8’i erkek (%40) idi. Oftalmolojik muayeneleri normal olan hastalarımızdan 4’ünde hiperlipidemi (%20), 6’sında hi­pertansiyon (%30), 1’inde migren (%5), 5’inde kalp kapak hastalığı (%25), 1’inde periferik vasküler has­talık (%5) öyküsü mevcuttu. Onbir hastada ekokardiyografik (%55); 3 hastada karotis Doppler ult­ra­sonografik (%15) patoloji saptandı
Sonuç: Amorozis fugaks yakınması ile oftalmologlara başvuran hastaların yüksek oranda kar­di­yo­vas­küler hastalıklara sahip olabilme riskleri bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle, bu hastaların kardiyovasküler yön­den incelenmeleri, takip ve tedavileri önemlidir.

The Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases in Patients with Amaurosis Fugax

SUMMARY

Purpose: It is planned to evaluate the patients with amaurosis fugax complaints for the risk of carrying cardiovascular diseases.
Material and Methods: Twenty patients who have applied to our clinic with this complaint were e­va­luated with transthoracic echocardiography and carotid artery Doppler ultrasonography. Full opht­hal­mologic examinations of the patients have been made; they were asked for accompanying systemic di­seases, and after this, serum lipid profiles have been evaluated.
Results:
The mean age of the patients was 49.8±14.5 years (range:20-72); 12 of them were females (60%), and 8 of them were males (40%). Ophthalmologic examinations of the patients were normal but 4 of them (20%) had hyperlipidemia, 6 of them (30%) had hypertension, 1 of them (5%) had migraine, 5 of them (25%) had cardiac valvular diseases, and 1 of them (5%) had peripheric vascular diseases in their medical stories. Eleven patients (55%) had lesions detectable by echocardiography; 3 patients (15%) had lesions detectable by carotid Doppler ultrasonography.
Discussion: Patients who apply to ophthalmologists with amaurosis fugax complaints have high risk of carrying cardiovascular diseases. So, it is important to evaluate, follow up and treat these pa­tients in cardiovascular aspects.
Key Words: Amaurosis fugax, Doppler ultrasonography, Cardiovascular risk, Transthoracic echoc
