Family History as a Risk Factor for Carotid Artery Stenosis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Family history of stroke, and of CHD were each associated with CAS, suggesting that shared genetic and environmental factors contribute to the risk of CAS.

Peripheral Artery Disease in Patients With Ischemic Stroke: A Cross Sectional Observational Study (P3.097)
Objective: To determine the frequency of atherosclerosis by ankle brachial index in patients with an ischaemic stroke and association of carotid artery stenosis and ABI.Design:Cross-sectionalSetting: Neurology section, Department of medicine,Karachi Medical & Dental College.MATERIAL AND METHODSPatients of 15 years or above and of both sexes.Inclusion Criteria: All patients with ischaemic stroke.Exclusion Criteria:Patients with an intracranial bleed or a sub-arachnoid haemorrhage end stage renal disease.All patients included underwent history examination, urea, creatinine, electrolytes (to exclude end stage renal diseas...

Stenosis Length and Degree Interact With the Risk of Cerebrovascular Events Related to Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis
Conclusion: We found a statistically insignificant tendency for the ultrasound-measured length of sICAS<70% to be longer than that of sICAS≥70%. Moreover, the ultrasound-measured length of sICAS<90% was significantly longer than that of sICAS 90%. Among patients with sICAS≥70%, the degree and length of stenosis were inversely correlated. Larger studies are needed before a clinical implication can be drawn from these results. Introduction Internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS) causes around one-fifth of ischemic cerebrovascular stroke and has the highest risk of early stroke recurrence...

Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Is Associated With Circadian and Other Variability in Embolus Detection
Conclusions: Embolism associated with asymptomatic carotid stenosis shows circadian variation with highest rates 4–6 h before midday. This corresponds with peak circadian incidence of stroke and other vascular complications. These and ASED Study results show that monitoring frequency, duration, and time of day are important in ES detection. Introduction Transcranial Doppler (TCD) detected microembolism in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) may help stratify the risk of stroke and other arterial disease complications in persons with advanced (≥60%) asymptomatic carotid stenosis. If so, this t...

Neurovascular Outcomes in Relation With Carotid Artery Stenosis in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
CONCLUSIONS: CAS is common among TAVI patients. While CAS as a whole was not a predictor of neurovascular complications, the subgroup of bilateral CAS was associated with an increased risk of stroke.PMID:36705606

The use of intraoperative epiaortic ultrasonography in monitoring patients over 75 years old treated with aortic valve replacement.
CONCLUSIONS: Epiaortic ultrasound scanning imaging is superior to TTE and manual palpation in the detection and localization of ascending atherosclerosis. This technique should be introduced as a standard perioperative examination in older patients at risk of neurological complications. PMID: 28515742 [PubMed - in process]

Correlation Between Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
CONCLUSION: CIMT is increased in NAFLD patients. Increase in CIMT is significantly correlated with increasing grades of NAFLD. Hence CIMT can be used as screening tests in NALFD patients to assess cardiovascular risks.PMID:35443534
