Abstract
Background: Ischemic stroke is a manifestation of blood vessel occlusion due to embolism or atherosclerosis. Intima-media thickening and changes in the diameter of the common carotid artery (CCA) are thought to be indicators of atherosclerosis that can be assessed with carotid doppler.
Aim: To describe the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and CCA diameter profile in ischemic stroke and its associated risk factors.
Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study using the registry in Neurology Outpatient Clinic, RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo in January 2019- September 2020, which was analysed using T-test and Mann-Whitney test.
Results: Of 232 subjects with mean age 57.69±11.51 years, 145 (62.5%) were male. Mean CIMT and median CCA diameter were 0.9 (0.35-1.70)mm and 0.70±0.11cm, respectively. The most prevalent risk factor for ischemic stroke were hypertension (192 [82,7%]), dyslipidemia (173 [74.57%]), smoking (107 [46.12%]) and diabetes [79 (34.05%]). Increased CIMT was more common in male (0.97±0.24mm vs 0.87±0.20mm, p
Conclusion: CIMT and CCA diameter were important to be assessed as some of the risk factors of ischemic stroke. Increased CIMT and CCA diameter were found more frequently in elderly patients, male and hypertension.
