Association of Pre-Diabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus with intracranial plaque characteristics in patients with acute ischemic stroke

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with pre-diabetes and T2DM had similar intracranial atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability, as demonstrated by multiple plaques, increased culprit plaque enhancement ratio and global plaque enhancement score.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Pre-diabetes might be a risk factor for intracranial plaque vulnerability. It is necessary to monitor a slight increase in blood glucose in non-diabetes patients with acute ischemic stroke.PMID:36350061 | DOI:10.1259/bjr.20220802
