Hemodynamic alterations and their clinical implications in the vertebrobasilar system among patients with isolated posterior circulation ischemic vertigo.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This research aimed to ascertain independent risk factors and the diagnostic value of vascular parameters in differentiating posterior circulation ischemic isolated vertigo (PCI-IV) from vestibular peripheral vertigo (VPV).

Methods

This study involved 247 patients with acute-onset vertigo, categorized into two groups: PCI-IV and VPV. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to pinpoint independent risk factors for PCI-IV.

Results

The duration of vertigo, particularly episodes lasting more than a few hours, was a significant predictor of PCI-IV (OR = 2.183, p < 0.001). The presence of diabetes mellitus (OR = 1.746, p = 0.008) and hypertension (OR = 2.291, p = 0.004) also notably increased the likelihood of PCI-IV. Hemodynamic measu
