19. AORTIC DISTENSIBILITY IS MORE CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH CAROTID INTIMA MEDIA THICKNESS THAN AORTIC INTIMA-MEDIA THICKNESS IN THE PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC STROKE

19. AORTIC DISTENSIBILITY IS MORE CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH CAROTID INTIMA MEDIA THICKNESS THAN AORTIC INTIMA-MEDIA THICKNESS IN THE PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC STROKE

Background: The aorta plays a central role for a modulator in whole cardiovascular system by its elasticity. If the elasticity was decreased, aortic distensibility was also decreased and stiffness index was elevated. In this study, we investigated the relationship between aortic distensibility calcu...
