Does carotid plaque stiffness measured by supersonic shear imaging correlate with serum homocysteine levels and symptomatic ischemic stroke in ischemic stroke patients?
Ischemic stroke patients with carotid plaques
Supersonic shear imaging (SSI) to measure carotid plaque stiffness (shear wave velocities, SWVs)
Correlation of plaque stiffness (SWVs) with serum homocysteine level and association with symptomatic ischemic strokesurrogate
Supersonic shear imaging can quantitatively evaluate carotid plaque stiffness, which correlates with serum homocysteine levels and symptomatic ischemic stroke, potentially aiding in vulnerable plaque assessment.
Supersonic shear imaging could be used to quantitatively evaluate stiffness of both echolucent and echogenic carotid plaques. More importantly, SWVs of plaques were not only correlated to serum homocysteine level, but also associated with symptomatic ischemic stroke, suggesting that SSI might be useful for understanding more about VP.
