Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the relationship between carotid arteriosclerosis and ischemic cerebral vascular disorders (ICVD). Method We examined 126 ICVD patients and 126 non-ICVD patients in the alterations of carotid dimension and intramembrane morphology with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Results Carotid plaques to various extent were detected in 82 cases of ICVD patients and 38 cases of non-ICVD patients. The incidence of carotid plaques was 68.3% and 35.7%, respectively in these two groups of patients. Furthermore, patients either with age over 60 years, hypertension, or hyperlipemia were found to be more susceptible to carotid arteriosclerosis. Conclusion MRA is very useful to detect early-stage carotid arteriosclerosis, and the occurrence in the carotid arteriosclerosis is closely related to ICVD.
