Why the study?
The relationship between arterial stiffness parameters and clinical features of acute cerebrovascular accident was not fully established.
Is arterial stiffness associated with the severity and clinical features of acute cerebrovascular accident?
Is arterial stiffness associated with the severity and clinical features of acute cerebrovascular accident?
Arterial stiffness, measured by the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), is significantly correlated with the severity of ischemic stroke and distinguishes it from transient ischemic attack.
May inform acute stroke prognosis; leaves open whether arterial stiffness modification improves outcomes.
