Comparisons of plasma RANTES level and CCAB in patients with ICVD with and without multiple atherosclerotic stenosis ≥50%.
| Characteristics | Plasma RANTES level (pg/mL) |
CCAB (point) |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median (Q1, Q3) | Z value | P | Mean ± SD | t value | P | |
| Presence of multiple stenosis ≥50% in cervicocephalic arteries (yes vs. no) | 39979 (28268, 63786) vs. 25408 (19794, 31792) | −2.607 | 0.009a | 23 ± 8 vs. 13 ± 6 | −3.496 | 0.001a |
| Presence of multiple stenosis ≥50% in the coronary arteries (yes vs. no) | 45890 (40177, 83861) vs. 30013 (23891, 43151) | −2.842 | 0.004a | 28 ± 6 vs. 18 ± 8 | −3.483 | 0.001a |
| Presence of stenosis ≥50% in both cervicocephalic and coronary arteries (yes vs. no) | 44565 (29960, 82433) vs. 30066 (22342, 41028) | −2.478 | 0.013a | 23 ± 9 vs. 18 ± 7 | −2.244 | 0.031a |
ICVD: ischemic cerebrovascular disease; CCAB: cardiocerebral atherosclerosis burden; RANTES: regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed, and secreted; SD: standard derivation.
