What is Orbital Blood Flow Velocities in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis about?

## Abstract ## Purpose. To assess orbital blood flow changes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis using Doppler sonography. ## Patients and Methods. The study comprised 35 patients who were diagnosed with RA and were treated at the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation at Duzce Medical School. A control group consisted of 35 healthy volunteers. Color Doppler imaging was used to measure peak systolic velocity (PSV) and end diastolic velocity (EDV), from which the resistance index (RI) was calculated in the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and posterior ciliary arteries (PCAs). ## Results. In the OA, PSV, EDV, and RI were, respectively, 36.7 ± 0.6 cm/sec, 9.7 ± 0.2 cm/sec, and 0.73 in the control group versus 34.7 ± 3.0 cm/sec, 9.1 ± 1.1 cm/sec, and 0.74 in the patient group. In the CRA, they were, respectively, 11.8 ± 1.7 cm/sec, 3.6 ± 0.7 cm/sec, and 0.66 in the control group versus 11.1 ± 1.7 cm/sec, 3.4 ± 0.7 cm/sec, and 0.68 in the patient group. In the PCAs, they were, respectively, 13.2 ± 1.2 cm/sec, 4.7 ± 0.6 cm/sec, and 0.65 in the control group versus 12.4 ± 1.2 cm/sec, 4.2 ± 0.6 cm/sec, and 0.66 in the PCAs. PSV, EDV, and RI of the PCAs an
