Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will be carried out prospectively on patients who applied to the cardiovascular surgery polyclinic and the carotid-vertebral artery doppler ultrasound due to the vascular problem. All patients will fill "Balance Disorder Scan Survey" and "Vertigo-Dizziness Imbalance Questionnaire-SS". Patients who score 1 and more are directed to the ear nose throat polyclinic and detailed differential diagnosis. Those who score 0 will be in control group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Right and left carotid artery flow velocities, intima-media thicknesses (IMT), presence of plaque, vertebral artery flow velocities, and vertebral artery resistance indexes (RI) will be recorded in all patients. Risk factor analysis, Vertigo Symptom Scale (VSS) and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI-S) questionnaires will be applied to the patients in the ENT outpatient clinic. The differential diagnosis of vertigo will be made by performing detailed balance examinations and advanced balance tests.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group Vertigo

Patients who have Carotid Doppler Ultrasonography and Vertigo screening test scores of 1 and above will be sent to ENT

Carotid Doppler USG

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

All Doppler ultrasonography measurements will be made in a dimly lit room at room temperature, with the patient in the supine position, the head slightly hyperextended, the patient looking to the left when measuring the right side, and the patient looking to the right when measuring the left side. In all patients, common carotid artery (CCA), internal carotid artery (ICA) and vertebral artery (VA) gray scale and color Doppler ultrasonography wşll be performed using the GE 9L Linear Probe. Color Doppler examination will be performed with a frequency of 4.0/8.0 MHz.

Group control

Patients who have Carotid Doppler Ultrasonography and Vertigo screening test score below 1

Carotid Doppler USG

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

All Doppler ultrasonography measurements will be made in a dimly lit room at room temperature, with the patient in the supine position, the head slightly hyperextended, the patient looking to the left when measuring the right side, and the patient looking to the right when measuring the left side. In all patients, common carotid artery (CCA), internal carotid artery (ICA) and vertebral artery (VA) gray scale and color Doppler ultrasonography wşll be performed using the GE 9L Linear Probe. Color Doppler examination will be performed with a frequency of 4.0/8.0 MHz.
