[Neurosensory hearing loss associated with ischemic heart disease. Features and prognostic values].
The aim of this study was to verify the supposed pathological hearing loss in those patients with ischemic heart disease, as well as to determine its features and possible clinical usefulness. Two groups were made: group A (n = 65), patients admitted for acute episode of ischemic heart disease, group B (n = 60), patients without cardiac or auditive disorders. Auditive assessment included standard PTA and Bera. Cardiologic evaluation was made through cardiac catheterism with coronariography. Results confirm the existence of a clinical association between "perceptive hearing loss" and "ischemic heart disease", independently of the age, with a characteristic pattern of hearing loss, and also show the existence of a high risk subgroup within the population with coronary risk.
