title: [Topographic diagnosis of hearing loss in patients with ischemic heart disease. Use of high-rate brain stem evoked response audiometry].
abstract: Hearing loss in patients with ischemic heart disease traditionally has been attributed to atheromatous cerebral vascular disease. In this study, the site of the auditory lesion was sought in patients with ischemic heart disease and perceptive hearing loss. Standard brainstem evoked response audiometry (BSER) with increased stimulation rate (ISR) were performed. Sixty-seven patients admitted for coronary artery disease were examined. Fifty-seven recordings were complete and evaluable. All the cases of hearing loss were endocochlear. In 4 patients. BSER and ISR detected subclinical retrocochlear lesions that were compatible with ischemic disease. The results suggest that selective early cochlear ischemia can occur in young persons with heart disease. The sensitivity of BSER with ISR for detecting ischemic brainstem lesions was confirmed.
