Correlation of CT Findings of Stroke with External Carotid Doppler with Lipid Profile and Blood Sugar Level

Abstract

            To study the role of colour Doppler of carotid arteries, lipid profile and blood glucose levels and their association in patients with CT findings of stroke. To study carotid arteries with  respect  to  morphology of plaque and degree of stenosis with  the  size  of stroke on CT.The study included 140 patients with CT findings of stroke .There were 94 male patients and 46 female patients. Intima-media thickness was increased more on ipsilateral side of the stroke. The most common location of plaque was the carotid bifurcation. The most common type of plaque was the echogenic by the calcific plaque.
