Does a regression model based on apolipoprotein AI, lipoprotein (a), and RBC IR predict the occurrence of cerebral infarction in patients with carotid artery stenosis?
A predictive model using apolipoprotein AI, lipoprotein (a), and RBC rigidity index shows promise for predicting cerebral infarction in patients with carotid artery stenosis.
We show herein that the regression model based on apolipoprotein AI, lipoprotein (a), and RBC IR is a promising tool to predict the occurrence of cerebral infarction in patients with carotid artery stenosis. However, identification of novel diagnostic markers for progressive cerebral infarction is still necessary.
