Abstract

An increase in the common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) is generally considered an early marker of atherosclerosis and is a well-established predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). An association between changes in CCA-IMT and risk of stroke has been reported but has conflicting findings. The present meta-analysis was aimed to clarify the association between CCA-IMT with the risk of stroke and its subtype by estimating pooled analysis of published literature. Comprehensive search for all published articles was performed in electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Trip Databases, Worldwide Science, CINAHL and Google Scholar from 01 January 1950 to 30 April 2020. In our meta-analysis, a total of 19 studies, of which sixteen studies involving 3475 ischaemic stroke (IS) cases and 11 826 controls; six studies with 902 large vessel disease (LVD) and 548 small vessel disease (SVD) of IS subtypes; five studies with 228 intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and 1032 IS cases, were included. Our findings suggest a strong association between increased CCA-IMT with risk of IS as compared to control subjects [SMD = 1.46, 95% CI = 0.90-2.02]. However, there is an increased risk of LVD as compared to the...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
