Abstract:BackgroundThe diagnostic value of carotid plaque characteristics based on higher–resolution vessel wall MRI (HRVW‐MRI) combined with white matter lesion (WML) burden for the risk of ischemic stroke is unclear.PurposeTo combine carotid plaque features and WML burden to construct a hybrid model for evaluating ischemic stroke severity and prognosis in patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis.Study TypeRetrospective.SubjectsOne hundred and ninty‐three patients with least one confirmed carotid atherosclero… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
