摘要
Background and Purpose - South Asians are the most prevalent ethnic group in the world. Intracranial disease is the most common vascular lesion worldwide. Methods - We prospectively studied 200 consecutive ethnic South Asian patients with acute ischemic stroke in Singapore. Results - Intracranial large-artery disease was prevalent among 54% of all stroke subtypes and was independently associated with hypertension and higher serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Conclusions - Among ethnic South Asian patients with ischemic stroke, intracranial large arteries are the predominant site of disease.
