Why the study?
Is the arterial pulsatility index measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes and acute lacunar infarction compared to those without infarction and healthy controls?
Is the arterial pulsatility index measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes and acute lacunar infarction compared to those without infarction and healthy controls?
An elevated arterial pulsatility index measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography is associated with type 2 diabetes and acute lacunar infarction, suggesting it may serve as a marker for diabetic cerebral microvascular complications.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Elevated pulsatility index may mark diabetic cerebral microvascular complications; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Lee et al. (2007) studied this question.
