ABSTRACT:

Objective: To determine the carotid atherosclerosisfrequency with color Doppler ultrasound in patients with ischemic stroke in our population. Study Design: An Observational Study. Place and duration:In the Medicine Department of Chandka Medical College Hospital Larkana in collaboration with Radiology department for one year duration from July 2018 to December 2018. Methodology: All patients presenting with stroke test during this period were selected for the study. In all these subjects, risk factors were stratified.According to the study rules;all patients with ischemic stroke were performed with doppler ultrasound. Results:In the study, 100 total patients were selected for six months. Of these, cerebral infarction was noted in 66%. Thediabetes (35%),hypertension (72%), obesity (20%) and smoking (29%) were usual risk factors. In acute ischemic stroke; carotid atherosclerosisfrequency in patients was 21%. Conclusion: Carotid atherosclerosis is the most important predictivefactors and indicators and independent risk factors for ischemic stroke development.
