Evaluation of Vasomotor Reactivity by Transcranial Doppler Sonography in Patients With Acute Stroke Who Have Symptomatic Intracranial and Extracranial Stenosis

摘要

ObjectiveIn patients with large artery disease, determining the cerebral hemodynamic state and following its alterations may be a good marker for predicting long-term outcome. The aim of our study was to compare the changes in vasomotor reactivity (VMR) of patients with symptomatic intracranial and extracranial artery stenosis. We also examined whether VMR after stroke influences the long-term prognosis for these patients.
