Description
Lei Jiang and co-authors ask in 2026 whether long-term drinking links to artery narrowing on both sides of the neck split in stroke patients. Arteries inside and outside the skull differ in wall build and in how they clog. Some stroke patients show clogging in both zones, and why is unclear.
The study looked back at stroke patients who arrived within seven days and got a detailed artery scan at one China hospital. Long-term drinking meant drinking on at least three days a week for at least five years before the stroke. Models weighed drinking next to age, sex, blood pressure, and diabetes. Knowing which habits track with the double-zone pattern could help doctors guess the full spread of clogging from a patient's history.
