Abstract

To use multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to test the hypothesis that hypertensives would have higher retrograde venous blood flow (RVBF) in the internal jugular veins (IJV) vs. normotensives, and that this would inversely correlate with arterial inflow and gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid volumes. Following local institutional review board approval and written consent, a prospective observational 3-T MRI study of 42 hypertensive patients (53 ± 2 years, BMI 28.2 ± 0.6 kg/m2, ambulatory daytime systolic BP 148 ± 2 mmHg, ambulatory daytime diastolic BP 101 ± 2 mmHg) and 35 normotensive patients (48 ± 2 years, BMI 25.2 ± 0.8 kg/m2, ambulatory daytime systolic BP 119 ± 3 mmHg, ambulatory daytime diastolic BP 90 ± 2 mmHg) was performed. Phase contrast imaging calculated percentage retrograde venous blood flow (%RVBF), brain segmentation estimated regional brain volumes from 3D T1-weighted images, and pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling measured regional cerebral blood perfusion. Statistical analysis included two-sample equal variance Student's T tests, two-way analysis of variance with Tukey's post hoc correction, and permutation-based two-group general linear modeling (p < 0.05). In the left IJ...Continue Reading
