Abstract Background and Purpose: Cerebral artery stenosis is known as an important cause
of stroke, and elevated fasting glucose level is also considered as a risk factor for stroke. Our …

Background Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is the most common cause of stroke,
but the relationship of ICAS with fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated hemoglobin A1c …

Background and Purpose Ischemic stroke is known to be an important vascular complication
of diabetes. Intracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS) is considered as an important cause of …

Background and Purpose Diabetes mellitus is a specific risk factor for intracranial
atherosclerosis (ICAS) regardless of race. However, it is largely unknown whether poor …

Purpose The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.
We investigated potential associations between MetS and asymptomatic intracranial arterial …

The aim of this study was to assess the association between fasting triglyceride (FTG) levels
and the prevalence of asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS). The Asymptomatic …

Introduction Recent studies have shown that insulin resistance (IR) is correlated to
atherosclerosis development. However, few studies have investigated the association …

Background Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is a major cause of ischemic stroke,
especially in Asia. Assessing relationships between novel risk factors and ICAS could lead …

Objective To investigate whether asymptomatic middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis is
associated with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Chinese with type 2 diabetes …

Abstract Background The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a simple measure of insulin
resistance, is associated with intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) and stroke. In hypertensive …
