[Characterisation of factors associated with carotid stenosis in a population at high risk].

CONCLUSIONS. As forms of carotid atherosclerotic disease, moderate to severe stenosis is less frequent than a high burden of atherosclerotic plaques. Advanced age, smoking, dyslipidemia and hypertension are the main traditional risk factors associated with the degree of carotid stenosis. PMID: 24915030 [PubMed - in process]
