Study on the correlation between carotid plaque calcification types and acute ischemic stroke by Tianyu Chu, Zhongping Guo, Yonggang Zhang, Ying Liu, Yan Gu

“…Finally, the chi-squared test of the paired samples showed that the grade of plaque calcification is often higher on the side of acute infarction than on the side without acute infarction, and the difference is statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001).DiscussionCarotid plaque calcification is associated with acute ischemic stroke. Our findings provide novel insights into the study of calcification in carotid atherosclerotic plaques and additional radiological evidence to clinically assess the risk of ischemic stroke.…”
