Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how common cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) are in patients with acute unilateral inner ear hypofunction (AUIEH) and their effects, focusing on conditions like acute unilateral peripheral vestibulopathy (AUPVP) and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL).
- - Researchers analyzed data from 125 patients and 250 control participants, finding that patients had significantly higher rates of CVRFs like high blood pressure, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, with an increased risk for AUIEH linked to having two or more CVRFs.
- - The conclusion suggests that patients with AUIEH have a notably higher prevalence of CVRFs, and underscores the need for
Objectives/hypothesis: It was previously suggested that patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study is to determine if ISSNHL patients have an increased cardiovascular risk by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: A systematic literature review was performed using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Libraries and Web of Science.
