Lower Hemoglobin Correlates with Larger Stroke Volumes in Acute Ischemic Stroke

Lower Hemoglobin Correlates with Larger Stroke Volumes in Acute Ischemic Stroke

Background: Hemoglobin tetramers are the major oxygen-carrying molecules within the blood. We hypothesized that a lower hemoglobin level and its reduced oxygen-carrying capacity would associate with larger infarction in acute ischemic stroke patients. Methods: We studied 135 consecutive patients wit...
