Effective Risk Factors in Development Of Carotid Atherosclerosis

Abstract

Severe carotid stenosis has an importance in ischemic stroke development. In this study, effective risk factors in development of carotid atherosclerosis in acute stroke population are investigated. Patients were divided into three groups according to the degree of carotid stenosis: slight stenosis (%70). In univariate analysis, aging and smoking were found out as significant risk factors in carotid atherosclerosis development (respectively p=0.02, p=0.001). Ischemic heart disease and peripheral vascular disease were determined to have significant association with severe carotid stenosis (respectively p=0.05, p=0.02). When logistic regression analysis was used, smoking and ischemic heart disease were found to be significant independent determinants of severe carotid stenosis. When carotid plaque ultrasonic characterisation were investigated, soft, heterogenous plaques in severe stenosis group were found more than other groups. As a result, smoking and ischemic heart disease were seen to be important, independent risk factors in development of severe carotid atherosclerosis.
