The prevalence of carotid artery stenosis varies significantly by race

Rockman, Caron B; Hoang, Han; Guo, Yu; Maldonado, Thomas S; Jacobowitz, Glenn R; Talishinskiy, Toghrul; Riles, Thomas S; Berger, Jeffrey S
OBJECTIVE: Certain races are known to be at increased risk for stroke, and the prevalence of carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is thought to vary by race. The goal of this report was to study the prevalence of CAS in different races by analyzing a population of subjects who underwent vascular screening examinations. METHODS: The study data were provided by Life Line Screening. The cohort consists of self-referred individuals who paid for vascular screening tests. Subjects <40 and >100 years of age and those who reported a prior stroke or carotid artery intervention were excluded. Of the remaining 3,291,382 subjects, 3.7% did not self-identify a race. CAS was defined as stenosis in either internal carotid artery >/=50% by duplex ultrasound velocity criteria. RESULTS: The 3,291,382 subjects available for analysis consisted of Caucasian (2,845,936 [90%]), African American (97,502 [3.1%]), Hispanic (75,240 [2.4%]), Asian (60,982 [1.9%]), and Native American (87,757 [2.8%]) individuals. The prevalence of CAS was 3.4% in females and 4.2% in males (P

Hormone Replacement Therapy is Associated With a Decreased Prevalence of Peripheral Arterial Disease in Postmenopausal Women

Rockman, Caron B; Maldonado, Thomas S; Jacobowitz, Glenn R; Adelman, Mark A; Riles, Thomas S
BACKGROUND: The effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women on the development of peripheral atherosclerosis remains in question. The goal of this study was to analyze the use of HRT in a large population of postmenopausal women and to determine its association with the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). METHODS: A prospective database of patients who underwent voluntary vascular screening was used. Identification of patients as postmenopausal, and their use of HRT, was based on patient questionnaires. PAD was defined to be present if either lower extremity ankle-brachial index was /=70 years, the odds ratio of HRT use with regard to PAD remained approximately 0.8. CONCLUSIONS: The use of HRT in postmenopausal women appears to be associated with a significant reduction in the prevalence of PAD in this population-based study. This association appeared to be significant even in postmenopausal women with known atherosclerotic risk factors. These observational data may suggest a relationship between HRT and the prevalence of PAD that has not been the specific subject of previous randomized prospective studies.
