May refine silent lacunar infarct risk assessment; hypothesis-generating for carotid wall tension in small vessel disease.
Observational (n=1,296)
Odds Ratio: 1.3
p-value: p=0.0017
Brain small vessel disease is associated with alterations in carotid wall tension and shear stress independently of arterial stiffness.
Okada et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Brain small vessel diseases (SVD) (n=1,296). Mechanical stresses (circumferential wall tension and shear stress) was evaluated on Presence of silent lacunar infarction (OR 1.30, p=0.0017). Higher second peak of systolic blood pressure wall tension was associated with the presence of silent lacunar infarction (OR 1.30; P=0.0017), independently of arterial stiffness.
