[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the difference of carotid plaque burden and plaque composition between the low risk and high risk of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients based on essen stroke risk score (ESRS).Materials and Methods: Forty-one patients with AIS proved by clinic and follow-up, including low risk AIS (n=25) and high risk AIS (n=16), were enrolled in this retrospective and ethics committee-approved study. Carotid plaque high-resolution MR imaging was performed in all patients, and the responsible carotid arteries were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. The carotid plaque burden and compositional features were compared between the low and high risk stroke patients.Results: (1) The prevalence of recurrent AIS, age, diabetes mellitus smoking and peripheral arterial disease in patients with high risk AIS were significantly greater than patients with low risk (all P<0.05). (2) There existed statistical difference between low and high risk AIS patients in normalized wall index (NWI), lumen diameter (LD), wall thickness (WT) and stenosis (all P<0.05). (3) Patients with high risk AIS had a significantly higher prevalence of fibrous cap rupture (FCR), intra-plaque hemorrhage (IPH) compared, lipid rich necrotic core (LRNC) and lumen stenosis >50% with those with low risk AIS (both P<0.05). The LRNC area, LRNC index, IPH area and IPH index in high risk AIS patients was statistically higher than that in low (all P<0.05).Conclusion: There existed some differences between low risk and high risk AIS patients, and ESRS combined with carotid plaque high-resolution MR imaging will be helpful for the stratification study for AIS patients.
