The results of this multicenter study ( including 13 hospitals and medical centres across China) demonstrated that, in Chinese patients with recent ischemic cerebrovascular events, males developed higher risk of atherosclerotic plaques carotid arteries than females. The different constituent ratios of traditional risk factors, especially smoking, may contribute to the sex differences in carotid high-risk plaques.
