Objective Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a common complication of ischemic stroke after intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IVT), especially in cardioembolism (CE) and large artery atherosclerosis stroke (LAA) patients. Whether there are different risk factors for HT in LAA and CE patients remains ...
Carotid artery intima-media thickness in patients with acute ischemic stroke and its correlation with risk factors for atherosclerosis and/or stroke Introduction: Stroke is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. Ischemic stroke ismore prevalent than hemorrhagic stroke and atherosclerosis is th....
Large-artery atherosclerosis CE: Cardioembolism AIS: Acute ischemic stroke TOAST: The Trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment SUE: Stroke of undetermined etiology HIF-1α: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α SBP: Systolic blood pressure DBP: Diastolic blood pressure HPT: Hypertension DM...
The independent risk factors for in-hospital recurrence included large artery atherosclerosis, urinary or respiratory infection and abnormal blood glucose, whereas recurrence was less likely to occur in the patients with aphasia. Our study showed that the patients with AIS had a high rate of in-...
Silent Brain Infarction in Patients With Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Atherosclerotic Disease. The relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and ipsilateral silent brain infarction (SBI) is unclear. We tested the hypothesis that extracranial inter...

On the other hand, some data suggest that large-artery atherosclerosis as a causative mechanism of ischemic stroke is more common in PCS [27]. We assume this is analogous for our PCS group, which is indirectly indicated by the significantly higher use of antiplatelets after stroke in PCS as...
2.A major route of transportation into which local routes flow:Traffic was heavy on the central artery. [Middle Englisharterie, from Latinartēria, from Greekartēriā,windpipe, artery; seewer-inIndo-European roots.] Word History:The changed meaning of the wordarteryprovides a glimpse into the ...
Thus far, several studies have investigated the relationship between cigarette smoking and the occurrence of extracranial or intracranial atherosclerosis. To evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of asymptomatic carotid artery disease, Dr. Willeit and Kiechl analyzed a sample drawn from the community-...
Hypercholesterolaemia is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and induces endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction may increase vascular tone and arterial stiffness and as a consequence may decrease arterial distensibility (DC) and arterial compliance (CC). It is hypothesized that lipid-lowering therapy...
