What this Trial Is About
Cerebrovascular accident CVA, or stroke, is a major public health issue and the second leading cause of cardiovascular death. About 80% of CVA cases are ischemic, with large artery atheroma, especially in the carotid artery, responsible for about 20% of cases. This research aims to evaluate advanced imaging methods that assess carotid plaque vulnerability and inflammation, which may predict stroke risk better than traditional narrowing measurements alone. The study is a case-control design including both patients who have had an ischemic stroke and those with carotid stenosis without stroke to compare plaque characteristics.
