Association between arterial calcifications and nonlacunar and lacunar ischemic strokes.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Nonlacunar cerebral infarcts are presumed to be caused by thromboembolism from the heart or extracranial arteries, whereas lacunar infarcts are thought to be caused by small vessel disease. We investigated to what extent arterial calcifications differ between nonlacunar and lacunar ischemic strokes. METHODS We studied 820 consecutive patients with transient ischemic att...
متن کاملAre lacunar strokes really different? A systematic review of differences in risk factor profiles between lacunar and nonlacunar infarcts.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Differences in risk factors between lacunar and nonlacunar infarcts might support a distinct arterial pathological process underlying lacunar infarction. METHODS We did a systematic review of studies comparing risk factors in patients with lacunar versus nonlacunar infarction. For each risk factor, we calculated study-specific and pooled relative risks (RRs) for lacunar...
متن کاملBlood pressure differences between patients with lacunar and nonlacunar infarcts
BACKGROUND Elevated blood pressure is frequently seen in acute stroke, and patients with lacunar and nonlacunar infarcts may have different underlying mechanisms for increase in blood pressure. The impact of hypertension as a risk factor may also vary. The aims of the present study were to investigate blood pressure in patients presenting with lacunar syndromes but with different anatomical sub...
متن کاملLittle Association between Intracranial Arterial Stenosis and Lacunar Stroke
Atheromatous middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis could cause lacunar stroke by occluding lenticulostriate artery origins, but atheroma is common, and previous studies lacked suitable controls. We aimed to determine if intracranial atheroma was more common in lacunar than in cortical ischaemic stroke. We recruited patients with lacunar stroke and controls with mild cortical stroke, confirmed t...
متن کاملAre sensorimotor strokes lacunar strokes? A case-control study of lacunar and non-lacunar infarcts.
To determine whether sensorimotor strokes should be considered as lacunar syndromes 34 consecutive patients with first-ever ischaemic sensorimotor stroke were evaluated and compared with 103 patients with non-lacunar infarcts and another 88 patients with lacunar infarcts. Potential thromboembolic sources were more frequent in patients with non-lacunar infarcts (p = 0.003, versus sensorimotor st...
