Arterial stiffness, measured by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, is independently associated with the presence of cerebral microbleeds in stroke patients.
Seo et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Stroke (cerebral infarction or transient ischemic attack) (n=255). Arterial stiffness (brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity) was evaluated on Presence of cerebral microbleeds (OR 1.119, 95% CI 1.013-1.237, p=<0.01). Arterial stiffness, assessed by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, was independently associated with cerebral microbleeds in stroke patients (OR 1.119; 95% CI 1.013-1.237).
