People with arterial clogs caused by what's known as coronary artery
calcification -- calcium deposits in the artery -- are at higher risk
for stroke, even if they're otherwise considered to have a low risk, the
German researchers found.
The findings are published Feb. 28 in the journal Stroke.
"Stroke risk is tightly aligned with coronary atherosclerosis
[hardening of the arteries], showing the closely related nature of
cardiovascular and cerebrovascular [brain blood flow] disease," lead
investigator Dr. Dirk Hermann, a professor of vascular neurology and
dementia at the University Hospital Essen, said in a journal news
release.
