Objective:To determine the influence of carotid plaque morphology and severity of stenosis on symptoms of cerebrovascular disease and cerebral infarction.Patients and methods:One hundred and ninety patients with 329 carotid plaques producing 50–99% stenosis were studied. Carotid plaque echogenicity on ultrasonography was evaluated using computerised measurement of the median of the overall grey scale content (GSM). Heterogeneity was evaluated as the difference between the GSMs of the most echogenic and the most echolucent areas within each plaque and expressed as the heterogeneity index (HI). All patients had a CT brain scan and the presence of ipsilateral cerebral infarction noted.Results:Cerebral infarction was more common in symptomatic ...
