Abstract
Objective: To investigate the vascular aging and the correlation of this index with the clinical features and subclinical tests of patients with ischemic stroke. Subject and method: 99 patients with ischemic stroke at Stroke Center, 108 Military Central Hospital were enrolled, from 6/2020 to 5/2021. Patient characteristics, clinical information and vascular aging were analyzed. Result and conclusion: The mean of age was 57.5 ± 7.0 years (77.8% males). The mean of vascular aging was 73.9 ± 9.4 years that was higher than the mean of patient age (p<0.001). Compared to patients without hypertension, diabetes, lipid disorder, occlusion artery, NIHSS ≤ 6, and mRS 0 - 3, those with hypertension, diabetes, lipid disorder, occlusion artery, and mRS 4 - 6 had significantly higher vascular aging (p<0.05). Vascular aging was correlated with patient’s ages (r = 0.593, p<0.05), and mRS score at discharge (r = 0.276, p<0.05).
