Influence of age on carotid atheroma in patients with reversible ischemic attacks.

چکیده
To evaluate the influence of age on carotid atheroma we reviewed the angiographic findings in 120 patients with reversible ischemic attacks. The prevalence and severity of atherosclerotic lesions increased significantly with age, and this difference persisted after adjusting for hypertension. These results may at least partly explain the poor long term prognosis for elderly subjects with reversible ischemic attacks, and underscore the importance of taking age into account when relating clinical and angiographic findings in patients with cerebrovascular ischemia.

Introduction: The identification of people with carotid calcified atheroma is an important measure to reduce the incidence of brain stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of carotid artery atheroma in post-menopausal women in panoramic radiographs. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 151 panoramic radiographs from women aged 45 years and above that referred...
متن کاملTransient ischaemic attacks related to carotid stenosis precipitated by straining, bending, and sneezing.
Three patients are described in whom one or more carotid territory transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs) were preceded by sneezing, straining, or bending over. It is argued that the mechanism involved dislodgment of embolic material from the site of carotid atheroma. This mechanism should be considered as an alternative to paradoxical embolism when TIAs are precipitated by such physiological manoe...
