P<0.01. ASCVD score indicates atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. SBP indicates systolic blood pressure. BP indicates blood pressure. MCAv_mean indicates mean middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity. β Coefficients are from individual simple linear regressions of MCAv values with ACSVD score and its subcomponents.
