Relation of Intracranial Stenosis and Elevated Carotid Intimal Medial Thickness in Black Caribbean Ischemic Stroke Patients (P03.187)

CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary results suggest that increased MCA velocity is independent elevated CIMT, a biomarker for atherosclerosis, in anterior circulation ischemic stroke in CBs. History of hypercholesterolemia appears to be an important risk factor in atherosclerosis in CBs. This data suggests further prospective studies of MCA stenosis mechanisms in CBs are warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Law has nothing to disclose. Dr. Hao has nothing to disclose.
