The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with an increased risk of stroke. Arterial remodeling could play an important role herein as maladaptive remodeling is a risk factor for stroke. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether MetS was associated with maladaptive remodeling of the carotid artery and if any such association was independent of hemodynamic variables.
