Correlation between carotid artery ultrasound parameters and lacunar infarction by Peipei Yang, Ying Hui, Shuohua Chen, Xinyu Zhao, Wei Huang, Xiaoshuai Li, Shouling Wu, Yuntao Wu, Ling Yang, Jing Chen, Zhenchang Wang, Xian-Quan Shi

“…Internal diameter of CCA and ICA, plaque in CCA and ICA, resistance index (RI) of CCA and ICA, pulsatility indexes (PI) of CCA and ICA, systolic/diastolic(S/D) of CCA and ICA, and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) were positively associated with LI; peak systolic velocities (PSV) of CCA, end-diastolic velocities (EDV) of CCA and ICA, average velocity (AVG) of CCA and ICA were negatively associated with LI. Multivariate regression analysis showed that CCA-internal diameter (95%CI, 1.04–1.93; p = 0.025), CCA-plaque (bilateral) (95%CI, 1.06–4.37; p = 0.034), and cf-PWV (95%CI, 1.01–1.15; p = 0.017) were independent factors of presence of LI. …”
