Correlation of Clinical Parameters, Lipid Profile and Carotid and Vertebral Arteries Plaque as Detected by Doppler Ultrasound in Ischemic Stroke. International Journal of Scientific Study. 2024 Nov; 12(8): 32-352321-63792321-595Xhttps://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/246953Background: A stroke is caused by a disruption in blood flow to the brain, either from ischemia (blockage) or hemorrhage (rupture), and is a medical emergency. This study focuses on assessing carotid arteries using color Doppler sonography to evaluate stenosis and correlate cerebrovascular accidents with carotid artery status, clinical parameters, and lipid profiles. Methods: It is a cross-sectional observational study that investigates the correlation between clinical parameters, lipid profile, and carotid and vertebral artery plaque in patients with ischemic stroke, using Doppler ultrasound amongst 65 patients. Results: Out of 65 patients studied a significant portion of the study group (72.3%) were aged 51–70, with a male predominance (66.2%). Risk factors such as hypertension (47.7%), diabetes (43.1%), and dyslipidemia (41.5%) were prevalent. Doppler ultrasound findings revealed that most patients had peak systolic velocities between 125 and 200 cm/s (47.7%) and stenosis in the 50–70% range (47.7%). Hypoechoic plaques were more common than hyperechoic plaques, with hypoechoic plaques predominantly associated with 50–70% stenosis. Conclusion: The study concludes that early detection and management of risk factors, along with carotid Doppler ultrasound, are critical in preventing ischemic stroke in high-risk patients. Carotid sonography, especially in individuals over 50 years with significant risk factors, is recommended for early diagnosis and intervention.Carotid intima-media thicknessDoppler sonographyIschemic strokeJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of General Medicine, MGM Medical College, Kishanganj, Bihar, IndiaDepartment of General Medicine, MGM Medical College, Kishanganj, Bihar, IndiaDepartment of General Medicine, MGM Medical College, Kishanganj, Bihar, IndiaDepartment of General Medicine, MGM Medical College, Kishanganj, Bihar, India
