  • incident stroke is associated with common Carotid Artery diameter and not common Carotid Artery intima media thickness
    Stroke, 2014
    Co-Authors: Joseph F Polak, Ralph L Sacco, Wendy S Post, Dhananjay Vaidya, Martinson K Arnan, Daniel H Oleary
    Abstract:

    Background and Purpose—The common Carotid Artery interadventitial diameter is measured on ultrasound images as the distance between the media-adventitia interfaces of the near and far walls. It is associated with common Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and left ventricular mass and might therefore also have an association with incident stroke. Methods—We studied 6255 individuals free of coronary heart disease and stroke at baseline with mean age of 62.2 years (47.3% men), members of a multiethnic community–based cohort of whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Chinese. Ischemic stroke events were centrally adjudicated. Common Carotid Artery interadventitial diameter and IMT were measured. Cases with incident atrial fibrillation (n=385) were excluded. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were generated with time to ischemic event as outcome, adjusting for risk factors. Results—There were 115 first-time ischemic strokes at 7.8 years of follow-up. Common Carotid Artery interadventitial diameter was a si...
