The impact of age and 24-h blood pressure on arterial health in acute ischemic stroke patients : The Norwegian stroke in the young study
The impact of age and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) on arterial stiffness and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in ischemic stroke patients younger than 60 years of age is poorly explored. A total of 385 acute ischemic stroke patients (aged 49.6±9.7 years, 68% men) were prospectively included and grouped in younger (15–44 years, n = 93) and middle-aged (45–60 years, n = 292). Arterial
