Increased Arterial Stiffness is a Predictor of Delayed Ischaemic Stroke After Subarachnoid Haemorrhage

Background Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) accounts for 5–10% of strokes and its prognosis may be influenced by different complications, including delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI). The pathophysiology of DCI is complex and still unknown. Many different mechanisms may contribute to the occurrence of DCI. Arterial stiffness (AS), a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular events, also associated with the development and rupture of cerebral...
