Figure 1.
Ischemic stroke incidence rate stratified by tertiles (0.60 and 0.48 mm) of intima-media thickness (IMT; mm) and tertiles (15 and 20 cm/s) of end-diastolic velocity (EDV; cm/s). Ischemic stroke incidence was increased by the tertiles of IMT (P for trend <0.0001) and by tertiles of EDV (P for trend <0.0001; P for interaction=0.7973; n=3175)

Association between carotid haemodynamics and inflammation in patients with essential hypertension

Conclusions: Common carotid IMT and EDV jointly and independently predicted future ischemic stroke in this Taiwanese population. More prospective studies are required in various ethnic groups to understand the significance and implication of the current findings, particularly with respect to EDV.
