Retinal vessels as an embryological part of the intracranial vasculature are easily accessible for analysis and may hold the key to a new and non-invasive monitoring technique. This investigation aims to determine the feasibility of standardized retinal vessel analysis (RVA) in the context of SAH. Methods In a prospective pilot study, we performed RVA in six patients awake and cooperative with SAH in the acute phase (day 2-14) and eight patients at the time of follow-up (mean 4.6±1.7months after SAH), and included 33 age-matched healthy controls. Data was acquired using a manoeuvrable Dynamic Vessel Analyzer (Imedos Systems UG, Jena) for examination of retinal vessel dimension and neurovascular coupling. Results Image quality was satisfactory in the majority of cases (93.3\%). In the acute phase after SAH, retinal arteries were significantly dilated when compared to the control group (124.2±4.3MU vs 110.9±11.4MU, p<0.01), a difference that persisted to a lesser extent in the later stage of the disease (122.7±17.2MU, p<0.05). Testing for neurovascular coupling showed a trend towards impaired primary vasodilation and secondary vasoconstriction (p = 0.08, p = 0.09 resp.) initially and partial recovery at the time of follow-up, indicating a relative improvement in a time-dependent fashion. Conclusion RVA is technically feasible in patients with SAH and can detect fluctuations in vessel diameter and autoregulation even in less severely affected patients. Preliminary data suggests potential for RVA as a new and non-invasive tool for advanced SAH monitoring, but clinical relevance and prognostic value will have to be determined in a larger cohort.}, language = {en} } @article{HauserKotliarTholenetal.2015, author = {Hauser, C. and Kotliar, Konstantin and Tholen, S. and Hasenau, A. and Suttmann, Y. and Renders, L. and Heemann, U. and Baumann, M. and Schmaderer, C.}, title = {Dynamische retinale Gef{\"a}ßreaktion bei H{\"a}modialysepatienten}, series = {Nieren- und Hochdruckkrankheiten}, volume = {44}, journal = {Nieren- und Hochdruckkrankheiten}, number = {11}, publisher = {Dustri-Verlag}, address = {Oberhaching}, issn = {0300-5224}, doi = {10.5414/NHX01743a}, pages = {480 -- 480}, year = {2015}, language = {de} } @book{IomdinaBauerKotliar2015, author = {Iomdina, E.

Using novel methodology of rPWV assessment this finding was confirmed and investigated whether it might relate to the increased blood pressure usually accompanying the aging process, rather than to the aging itself. Methods: A total of 12 young 25.5-year-old (24.0-28.8) [median(1st quartile-3rd quartile)] and 12 senior 68.5-year-old (63.8-71.8) anamnestically healthy volunteers; and 12 senior 63.0-year-old (60.8-65.0) validated healthy volunteers and 12 young 33.0-year-old (29.5-35.0) hypertensive patients were examined. Time-dependent alterations of vessel diameter were assessed by the Dynamic Vessel Analyzer in a retinal artery of each subject. The data were filtered and processed using mathematical signal analysis and rPWVs were calculated. Results: rPWV amounted to 1200 (990-1470) RU (relative units)/s in the hypertensive group and to 1040 (700-2230) RU/s in anamnestically healthy seniors. These differed significantly from rPWVs in young healthy group (410 [280-500] RU/s) and in validated healthy seniors (400 [320-510] RU/s). rPWV associated with age and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the pooled cohort excluded validated healthy seniors. In a regression model these associations remain when alternately adjusted for MAP and age. When including validated healthy seniors in the pooled cohort only association with MAP remains. Conclusions: Both aging (with not excluded cardiovascular risk factors) and mild hypertension are associated with elevated rPWV. rPWV increases to a similar extent both in young mildly hypertensive subjects and in aged anamnestically healthy persons. Healthy aging is not associated with increased rPWV.}, language = {en} } @article{KotliarLanzl2011, author = {Kotliar, Konstantin and Lanzl, Ines M.}, title = {Can vascular function be assessed by the interpretation of retinal vascular diameter changes?}, series = {Investigative Ophthalmology \& Visual Science, IOVS. 52 (2011), H. 1}, journal = {Investigative Ophthalmology \& Visual Science, IOVS. 52 (2011), H. 1}, publisher = {ARVO}, address = {Rockville, Md.}, isbn = {0146-0404}, pages = {635 -- 636}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{HanssenNickelDrexeletal.2011, author = {Hanssen, H. and Nickel, T. and Drexel, V. and Hertel, G. and Emslander, I. and Sisic, Z. and Lorang, D. and Schuster, T. and Kotliar, Konstantin and Pressler, A. and Schmidt-Trucks{\"a}ss, A. and Weis, M. and Halle, M.}, title = {Exercise-induced alterations of retinal vessel diameters and cardiovascular risk reduction in obesity}, series = {Atherosclerosis}, volume = {216}, journal = {Atherosclerosis}, number = {2}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, isbn = {0021-9150}, pages = {433 -- 439}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{MaierFeuchtWinklervonMohrenfelsetal.2011, author = {Maier, M.
