Abstract

Objective: Which risk factors are
important in preventing or stabilizing possible extra-cranial carotid artery
stenosis is unclear. We aimed to investigate risk factors that are associated
with extra-cranial carotid artery stenosis in patients with
ischemic stroke.

Method: The
records of 215 patients with ischemic stroke who were admitted to
Taksim Research Hospital were
screened. Patients who had been monitored
with color Doppler ultrasonography were then categorized on the basis of the
degree of stenosis in the carotid artery
(group A: 0%–49%, group B: 50%–69%, group C: >70%). Hypertension, diabetes
mellitus, hyperlipidemia, cigarette smoking, ischemic heart disease, age, and
sex were evaluated as risk factors. These risk factors were compared among the three groups by using SPSS version 17.

Results: We found a significant relationship between high
mean low-density lipoprotein and the severity of carotid stenosis (p<0.05).
A similar relationship was found between sex and the severity of carotid
stenosis (p<0.05).







Conclusions:
A high low-density lipoprotein level and male sex
are important risk factors for having extra-cranial carotid artery stenosis.
Therefore, use of more aggressive lipid-lowering treatments, recommending an
appropriate diet, and encouraging physical activity in hyperlipidemic men are
important in preventive medical practice.
