Prevalence of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis Using High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Angiography in the General Population: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is a common cause of stroke, but little is known about its epidemiology. We studied the prevalence of ICAS and its association with vascular risk factors using high-resolution magnetic resonance angiography in a US cardiovascular cohort. METHODS The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study recruited participants from ...
متن کاملEchoing Plaque Activity of the Coronary and Intracranial Arteries in Patients With Stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease, and both coronary and intracranial atherosclerosis are common in the elderly. Unlike coronary artery disease (CAD), intracranial atherosclerotic disease can cause intracranial atherosclerotic stroke by branch occlusive disease (B-type) and coronary-type rupture of plaque (C-type). We hypothesized that plaque characteristics of intrac...
متن کاملStroke: Highlights of Selected Articles
In this study, the authors sought to determine the epidemiology of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) in the United States. To this end, they selected 1765 participants from the community-based cohort of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study who underwent good quality high resolution 3-tesla magnetic resonance angiography from 2011 to 2013. They graded ICAS according to...
متن کاملMR angiography and imaging for the evaluation of middle cerebral artery atherosclerotic disease.
Intracranial atherosclerotic disease may constitute the most common cause of ischemic stroke worldwide; yet, in the developed world, imaging research has largely focused on extracranial atherosclerosis. Many studies in populations of Asian, African, and Hispanic descent demonstrate the preponderance of intracranial stenosis compared with carotid stenosis. This review examines the clinical prese...
متن کاملAdvantage in Bright-blood and Black-blood Magnetic Resonance Imaging with High-resolution for Analysis of Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques
BACKGROUND About 50% of the cerebral ischemia events are induced by intracranial and extracranial atherosclerosis. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy for displaying atherosclerotic plaques in carotid arteries and analyzing their ingredients by using high-resolution new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. METHODS Totally, 49 patients suspected of extracranial ca...
