Abstract
A total of 122 patients were studied (84 men, 38 women) of mean age 59 years (range, 38–76 years). These patients were all referred to the Department of Surgery for assessment of their carotid arteries by duplex ultrasound scanning and agreed to undergo a hypercapnia stress test as part of their investigation. Reasons for referral included detection of asymptomatic neck bruits on routine examination, symptoms suggestive of amaurosis fugax, transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs), or referral for consideration of carotid endarterectomy following investigation elsewhere. In order to investigate the effect of disease of the opposite internal carotid artery (ICA) on the response of blood flow velocity to hypercapnia in the ICA under study, these 122 patients were divided into two groups.
