Characteristics of intracranial aneurysms according to levels of coronary artery calcium

Stroke May 18, 2019

Cho BH, et al. - In this investigation involving 4,934 patients (mean age, 54.1±9.8 years; women, 42.2%), researchers studied if there was a connection between intracranial aneurysm (IA) and coronary artery calcium (CAC). Korean patients at a single university hospital who had both brain magnetic resonance angiography and cardiac computed tomography from January 2010 to July 2017 were retrospectively enrolled. Data revealed that IAs were detected in 258 (5.23%) of patients. As the CAC score increased, the prevalence of IA significantly increased. A high CAC score was revealed in multivariate logistic regression to be an independent risk factor for the presence of IA vs zero CAC score. The authors concluded that the presence of IA was associated with a high CAC score. In female and nonbifurcation aneurysms, this link was more prominent.
