摘要: Background and Purpose—Intracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS) is considered an important cause of stroke in Asians. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) a surrogate marker for subclinical atherosclerosis. We aimed to analyze the association ICAS assessed by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography CAC middle-aged Korean population. Methods—This study included 10 550 participants (81.3% men, mean age 43 years) from health screening program, whom was used detect >50% intracranial based on criteria modified outcomes neuroimaging atherosclerosis trial. Multidetector computed tomography assess coronary calcium score (CACS). grade (0, 1−100, >100) defined CACS. Results—The subjects with showed significantly higher proportion compared those without (4.4% versus 2.8%; P<0.01). Conversely, ...
