Sublingual varicose veins are a common vascular lesion with different names, such as caviar tongue or vascular malformations. This study aimed to investigate whether there is an association between sublingual varicose veins and cardiovascular diseases by observing arterial hypertension, diabetes, thrombosis, and infarction. In addition, to evaluate a series of thrombi that affected the oral cavity and to analyze their clinical aspects and relate them to possible systemic alterations.
This is a cross-sectional study consisting of a sample of 134 varicosities, 23 vascular malformations, and 4 thrombosis.
Lingual varicosities are more frequently observed in women aged 57.4 ± 16.4 years. Hypertension was present in lingual varicosities (n = 73), as well as diabetes (n = 107), reports of thrombosis (n = 41), and infarction (n = 45). Arterial hypertension was decompensated (n = 12). The most frequent underlying diseases were diabetes (p < 0.001), infarction (p = 0.012), and thrombosis (p = 0.004), and the most commonly used drug was losartan.
It can be inferred from the present study that lingual varicosities are related to cardiovascular diseases and can serve as a parameter to measure their decompensation.
舌下静脉曲张是一种常见的血管病变，有不同的名称，如鱼子酱舌或血管畸形。本研究旨在通过观察动脉高血压、糖尿病、血栓形成和梗死，来研究舌下静脉曲张与心血管疾病之间是否存在关联。此外，还评估了一系列影响口腔的血栓，并分析了它们的临床方面，并将其与可能的全身改变联系起来。
这是一项横断面研究，共纳入了 134 例静脉曲张、23 例血管畸形和 4 例血栓患者。
57.4±16.4 岁的女性更容易出现舌静脉曲张。舌下静脉曲张患者中存在高血压（n=73）、糖尿病（n=107）、血栓报告（n=41）和梗死（n=45）。动脉高血压失代偿（n=12）。最常见的基础疾病是糖尿病（p<0.001）、梗死（p=0.012）和血栓形成（p=0.004），最常用的药物是氯沙坦。
本研究可以推断出，舌静脉曲张与心血管疾病有关，可以作为衡量其失代偿的参数。
