Evaluation of intracranial and extracranial atherosclerotic lesions in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease.
Conclusions: The prevalence of ECAD, ICAD and EICAD is high in patients with CAD, and the presence of these conditions is positively correlated with the extent and degree of CAD. Evaluations of ECAD and ICAD should be highly recommended for CAD patients to reduce the future risk of cardiovascular diseases. PMID: 32284016 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

ECAS progression score: a web-based model to predict progression of extracranial carotid artery stenosis.
CONCLUSION: The ECAS progression score is a valid model for predicting the risk of ECAS progression. Further validation of the ECAS-PS in different populations and larger samples is warranted. PMID: 30759062 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Reversed ophthalmic artery flow following ischemic stroke: a possible predictor of outcomes following carotid artery stenting.
This study provides evidence that CAS is a valid and effective treatment option regardless of whether patients exhibited ROAF or not. Patients without ROAF were significantly more likely to have improved mid-term functional outcomes compared to those with ROAF. In the group without ROAF admission, CRP may play a role in predicting subsequent functional outcomes, whereas admission Barthel Index was a predictor of outcome in the ROAF group.

Risk factor profile in patients with stroke at a young age.
Conclusions Angiopathy is the most common risk factor for stroke at a young age. More than half of the patients with stroke at a young age have at least two independent risk factors for stroke. In the first two decades of life, the most frequent risk factors for stroke are heart diseases; arterial diseases play a dominant role in the consecutive three decades.

ECAS score: a web-based risk model to predict moderate and severe extracranial carotid artery stenosis.
Conclusion The ECAS score is a valid model for predicting moderate and severe ECAS. Further validation of the ECAS score in different populations and larger samples is warranted. PMID: 29392984 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk factors between intracranial-extracranial atherosclerosis and anterior-posterior circulation stroke in ischaemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Risk factors are different between ICAS and ECAS, ACS and PCS, and ICAS/ECAS with ACS/PCS. Thus, targeted strategies are needed to consider these differences to prevent, treat and manage these diseases. PMID: 27796172 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comparison of carotid atherosclerotic plaque characteristics between patients with first-time and recurrent acute ischaemic stroke using B-mode ultrasound.
CONCLUSION: Stroke recurrence is related to advanced atherosclerosis defined by carotid plaque and its characteristics. PMID: 26100248 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Predictors of neurological deterioration during hospitalization: results from the Chinese Intracranial Atherosclerosis (CICAS) Study.
DISCUSSION: Patients with watershed infarcts and MCA or BA stenosis or occlusion should be monitored closely, and various therapeutic strategies should be administered simultaneously to prevent pneumonia during hospitalisation. PMID: 25917464 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

APOE ϵ 2 allele is an independent risk factor for vulnerable carotid plaque in ischemic stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that ϵ 2 allele is an independent risk factor for echolucent and ulcerated carotid plaque. PMID: 24846706 [PubMed - in process]
