Intracranial artery stenosis is the most frequent cause of ischemic stroke. Yet there is
no recommendation for population-based screening with the goal of primary stroke prevention
strategies. Framingham risk score D’Agostino’s modification has been shown as highly
accurate screening to assess the risk of intracranial artery stenosis that lead to stroke. The aims
of study to determine the correlation between Framingham risk score and degree of
asymptomatic intracranial artery stenosis among stroke prone person. In the study, 32 patients
were included. Intracranial stenosis was assessed by transcranial Doppler (TCD). Stenosis
defined if the mean flow velocity (MFV) value was abnormal. Artery stenosis was most
common in the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) (34.4%). After multiple linear regression
analysis was done, only MFV of right carotid siphon artery (CSA) (p = 0.060; r = - 0.493),
MFV of left anterior cerebral artery (ACA) (p = 0.073; r = 0.332), MFV of left MCA (p =
0.065; r = 0.341), had significant correlation. The conclusion appears that the stroke risk score
has moderate correlation with the degree of asymptomatic intracranial artery stenosis,
especially with MFV of right CSA, left ACA and left MCA.
