Abstract
Purpose. To study the incidence of carotid artery stenotic lesions of different severity and the associated factors in ischemic stroke patients.
Materials and methods. 694 patients with different subtypes of ischemic stroke treated in the neurology department were enrolled. Color duplex imaging was used as a diagnostic technique. According to the degree of carotid artery disease patients were divided into the following groups: Group I included individuals with no or mild stenoses (up to 30 %), Group II included those with moderate stenotic lesions (30–49 %) and Group III, patients with carotid artery setnoses of 50 % and more. The NIHSS was used to assess the severity of neurologic deficit and ischemic stroke subtype was determined according to the TOAST classification.
Results. Patients with carotid stenoses of 50 % and more had atherothrombotic strokes, risk factors for stroke and severe neurologic deficit unlike those who had no or mild or moderate lesions. Patients with moderate carotid lesions more often had cardioembolic strokes and moderate neurologic deficit while the group with no carotid lesions had hemodynamic strokes and mild or moderate neurologic deficit.
Conclusions. Detecting carotid artery stenotic lesions of different severity allows to find ischemic stroke patients with poor prognosis and a high risk for concomitant coronary artery disease.
