Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

JUNE 20, 2024

While traditional vascular risk factors (eg, hypertension, dyslipidemia, tobacco use) account for 20% of the explained variance in carotid atherosclerosis, they remain a prominent focus for primary and secondary ischemic stroke prevention strategies.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3

Cerebrovascular disease may also be associated with hippocampal volume. Linear regression models examined the association of atherosclerosis and hippocampal to hemisphere volume ratio and whether age at death, blood pressure, and other factors modified associations.

While the exact mechanism underpinning that association is unclear, there is evidence that systemic inflammation contributes to atherosclerosis progression. One measure of subclinical atherosclerosis, carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT), is independently associated with ischemic stroke.

Objective:Late-life vascular health and cerebrovascular disease have been identified as potential risk factors for late-life depression (LLD). Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP107-ATMP107, February 1, 2025. To assess cumulative vascular risk burden, the number of VRFs were counted and categorized as 0, 1, 2, or 3.
