Cardiovascular Risk Profile in Ménière’s Disease and Posterior Circulation Infarction: A Comparative Study
Ménière’s disease (MD) has an unclear cause. The microvascular dysregulation of the inner ear has been increasingly pointed out as a potential contributor. This study investigates the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) in MD patients compared to those with posterior circulation cerebr...

| description | Ménière’s disease (MD) has an unclear cause. The microvascular dysregulation of the inner ear has been increasingly pointed out as a potential contributor. This study investigates the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) in MD patients compared to those with posterior circulation cerebral infarction (POCI). CVRFs like hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, coronary heart disease, and smoking were assessed in both MD and POCI patients. Brain MRI identified POCI etiology as “small vessel occlusion” (SVO) or “other etiology” (OE). This study included 64 MD and 84 POCI patients. Compared to MD, POCI OE showed a higher prevalence of CVRFs across various age groups, including hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and smoking. Notably, the odds of having POCI OE were significantly higher for individuals with hypertension and smoking. On the other hand, POCI SVO showed a similar prevalence of CVRFs compared to MD. This study revealed no significant differences in CVRF prevalence between MD and smaller vessel POCI. However, a clear distinction emerged when comparing MD to POCI with the involvement of larger blood vessels. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore potential shared risk factors between POCI (SVO) and MD. |
