BACKGROUND To determine the usefulness of the size of carotid artery intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) in discriminating the risk of acute ischemic stroke using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) vessel wall imaging. METHODS Symptomatic patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaque who participated in a cross-sectional, multicenter study of CARE-II (NCT02017756) were included. All patients underwent carotid and brain CMR imaging. Carotid plaque burden and the size of plaque compositions including calcification, lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC), and IPH were measured. Presence of acute cerebral infarct (ACI) in ipsilateral hemisphere of carotid plaque was determined. The relationship between carotid plaque features and presence of ipsilateral ACI was then analyzed. RESULTS Of 687 recruited patients (62.7 ± 10.1 years; 69.4% males) with carotid plaque, 28.5% had ACI in ipsilateral hemispheres. Logistic regression revealed that carotid plaque burden was significantly associated with the presence of ACI before and after adjusted for clinical confounding factors. The volume of LRNC, %LRNC volume, volume of IPH, and %IPH volume were significantly associated with ACI before (volume of LRNC: OR = 1.297, p = 0.005; %LRNC volume: OR = 1.119, p = 0.018; volume of IPH: OR = 2.514, p = 0.003; %IPH volume: OR = 2.202, p = 0.003) and after (volume of LRNC: OR = 1.312, p = 0.006; %LRNC volume: OR = 1.90, p = 0.034; volume of IPH: OR = 2.907, p = 0.007; % IPH volume: OR = 2.374, p = 0.004) adjusted for clinical confounding factors. The association between volume of IPH and ACI remained statistically significant after further adjusted for plaque volume (OR = 2.813, p = 0.016) or both plaque volume and volume of LRNC (OR = 4.044, p = 0.024). CONCLUSIONS In symptomatic patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaques, the size of IPH is independently associated with ipsilateral ACI, suggesting the size of IPH might be a useful indicator for the risk of ACI.
