Predicting acute ischemic stroke using the revised Framingham stroke risk profile and multimodal magnetic resonance imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIA) have a significant risk of developing acute ischemic strokes (AIS), emphasizing the critical need for hierarchical management. This study aims to develop a clinical-imaging model utilizing multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (mMRI) and the revised Framingham Stroke Risk Profile (FSRP) to predict AIS and achieve early secondary prevention.

Methods

mMRI scans were conducted on patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) to assess vascular wall features and cerebral perfusion parameters. Based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), patients were divided into two groups: TIA and AIS. Clinical data were evaluated to calculate the FSRP score. Differences in clinical and imaging characte
