Abstract 182: Association of High-Degree Intracranial Stenosis With Risk of Vascular Events Among Stroke-Free Individuals: Results From the Northern Manhattan Study (nomas)
Abstract:Background:
Individuals with stroke due to high-degree intracranial stenosis (i.e. > 70% by WASID criteria have a high 1-year risk of stroke recurrence. Whether high-degree intracranial stenosis in stroke-free individuals increases the risk of vascular events is less certain. We hypothesized that high-degree intracranial stenosis in stroke-free individuals is associated with risk of death and vascular events.

Participants in the population-b… Show more
