Relation between ankle-brachial index and ischemic stroke in elderly patients
Abstract：Obsective To study the relation between ankle-brachial index (ABI ) and ischemic stroke in elderly patients .Methods Seventy-four elderly ischemic stroke patients served as a pa-tient group and 26 subjects undergoing physical examination served as a control group in this study .Their ABI was measured .Results The ABI was significantly higher while the ABI value was significantly lower in patient group than in control group and in large atherosclerotic patients than in small atherosclerotic patients (35 .1% vs 7 .7% ,P<0 .01 ;0 .94 ± 0 .15 vs 1 .03 ± 0 .09 ,P<0 .01;0 .88 ± 0 .16 vs 1 .03 ± 0 .06 ,P<0 .01) .Conclusion ABI is related with ischemic stroke ,low ABI increases the risk of ischemic stroke ,and ABI is related with large atherosclerosis but not with small atherosclerosis .
