Key result
Diastolic blood viscosity was highest in patients with small vessel occlusion (13.03 cP), but multivariable analysis showed it was independently associated only with hypertension and C-reactive protein, not stroke subtypes.
Why the study?
Blood viscosity contributes to ischemic stroke development, but its impact across different stroke subtypes required investigation.
Is diastolic blood viscosity associated with specific stroke subtypes or imaging markers in patients with acute ischemic stroke?
Population
298 patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to St. Vincent's Hospital
Comparison
Patients with different subtypes of ischemic stroke
Design
Retrospective study

DBV correlates with hypertension and CRP but not stroke subtypes; leaves open its independent role in ischemic stroke beyond known risks.

Is diastolic blood viscosity associated with specific stroke subtypes or imaging markers in patients with acute ischemic stroke?
In patients with acute ischemic stroke, diastolic blood viscosity is independently associated with hypertension and C-reactive protein, but not with specific stroke subtypes or imaging markers in multivariable analysis.
Sang‐Mi Noh (2025) conducted an observational in Acute ischemic stroke (n=298). Diastolic blood viscosity vs. Other stroke subtypes and clinical factors was evaluated on Association of diastolic blood viscosity with stroke subtypes and imaging markers. Diastolic blood viscosity was highest in patients with small vessel occlusion (13.03 cP), but multivariable analysis showed it was independently associated only with hypertension and C-reactive protein, not stroke subtypes.
