Predictive Value of Circulating Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-1 Level Measured Repeatedly During Long-Term Follow-Up in Patients with Arterial Hypertension after Acute Ischemic Stroke
Abstract:Aim: The study aim was to investigate the predictive value of the circulating Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-1 (VEGF-1) level measured repeatedly in hypertensive patients after acute ischemic stroke.Methods: 102 patients with mild to moderate arterial hypertension, who were evaluated within a 3-week post ischemic stroke period, were included in the study. The circulating VEGF-1 level was measured at baseline and in six months after stroke. Clinical interviews were carried out monthly for a year after strok… Show more
