The Number of Stenotic Intracranial Arteries Is Independently Associated with Ischemic Stroke Severity
BACKGROUND The severity of ischemic stroke symptoms varies among patients and is a critical determinant of patient outcome. To date, the association between the number of stenotic intracranial arteries and stroke severity remains unclear. AIMS We aimed to investigate the association between the number of stenotic major intracranial arteries (NSMIA) and ischemic stroke severity, as well as the...
متن کاملIncreased intima-media thickness is independently associated with ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND Stroke is one of the major causes of death worldwide. The importance of increased intima-media thickness in cardiovascular risk stratification has been recurrently studied. The relationship between them, however, is still controversial. OBJECTIVES To determine whether increased common carotid artery (CCA) intima-media thickness can be used as an independent high-risk marker for the...
متن کاملPredictors of Stroke Events in Patients with Transient Ischemic Attack Attributable to Intracranial Stenotic Lesions
Objective The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of subsequent ischemic stroke events in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) attributable to intracranial arterial occlusive lesions. Methods The study population included 82 patients (55 men; mean age, 69.3±12.1 years) with TIA caused by intracranial arterial occlusive lesions who were admitted to our stroke care unit ...
متن کاملBiochemical aspirin resistance is associated with increased stroke severity and infarct volumes in ischemic stroke patients
To explore the correlation of aspirin resistance (AR) with clinical stroke severity and infarct volume using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in 224 Chinese ischemic stroke patients who were taking aspirin before stroke onset. In those patients, the median age was 64 years (IQR, 56-75 years), and males accounting for 54.9%(123)of the total subjects. Fifty of 224 enrolled patients (22.3%; 95% co...
متن کاملPlatelet C4d is associated with acute ischemic stroke and stroke severity.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Platelets bearing complement C4d were recently reported to be 99% specific for a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and associated with neuropsychiatric lupus. We compared the prevalence of platelet C4d and investigated the clinical associations of platelet C4d in patients with acute ischemic stroke. METHODS We recruited 80 patients hospitalized for acute i...
