Stroke prevention with carotid endarterectomy in asymptomatic men with carotid stenosis is greater than in women. Men have a higher incidence of stroke <75 years of age. Sex differences in plaque characteristics may help explain this, because several plaque features, including a thin/ruptured fibrous cap, larger lipid-rich/necrotic core, and hemorrhage, are associated with increased risk of stroke. We hypothesize that MRI carotid plaque features will demonstrate sex differences indicative of higher-risk plaque in men.
