We studied the relationship between cerebrovascular angiographic finding and risk factors such as age, hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, or ischemic heart disease in 104 atherothrombotic infarction diagnosed by clinical
features,
computed tomography, and MRI. Hypertension was significantly frequent in the patients with distally stenosed or occuluded artery than in the patients with proximally affected artery(P<0.05), but there was no relation between the smoking, diabetes
mellitus, hyperlipidemia, or ischemic heart disease and the site of stenosis or occulusion of artery. Hypertension was significantly frequent in the patients with the atherosclerosis or multiple arterial stenosis than in the patients with mono
arterial
involement without atherosclerosis(P<0.05). Age of the patients with mono arterial stenosis without atherosclerosis was significantly younger than the patients with atherosclerosis or multiple arterial stenosis (P<0.05).
