Coronary Calcium Score and Stroke Subtype Risk Stratification, 244 Patients

A cross-sectional study of 244 ischemic stroke patients aged 45-70, admitted to a rehabilitation hospital between August 2014 and December 2016, without prevalent coronary artery disease. All patients underwent CT scanning for Coronary Calcium Score measurement. The research, by Edson Marcio Negrão, compared CCS between atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic stroke groups to assess CAD risk.

Use Cases

• Predicting high coronary artery disease risk based on patient age and stroke etiology mentioned in the description
• Comparing coronary calcium score distributions between atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic ischemic stroke patient groups
• Training models to identify covariates associated with a high coronary calcium score in stroke patients

Strengths

• Includes 244 patient records with a mean age of 58.4 years and 49% female representation
• All patients underwent standardized CT scanning for Coronary Calcium Score measurement, providing a consistent biomarker
• Study design accounts for covariates including hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, sedentarism, and family history of CAD

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
