Decrease in Pulse Wave Velocity is Associated with Clinical Improvement in Patients with Ischemic Stroke
Arterial stiffness is an independent determinant of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risks. The relationship between the increase in arterial stiffness parameters and the severity of stroke has been shown in previous studies. We aimed to investigate the association between clinical improvement and changes in arterial stiffness parameters in patients presenting acute ischemic stroke.
