Interarm Blood Pressure Difference has Various Associations with the Presence and Burden of Cerebral Small-Vessel Diseases in Noncardioembolic Stroke Patients.

CONCLUSIONS: This study found that IABD ≥10 mm Hg was associated with the presence and increased burden of cerebral SVDs in noncardioembolic stroke patients. This suggests that IABD ≥10 mm Hg could be a useful indicator of the presence and burden of cerebral SVDs in stroke patients. PMID: 30877693 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
