Could clinical diffusion-mismatch determined using DWI ASPECTS predict neurological improvement after thrombolysis before 3 h after acute stroke?
CDM determined using DWI ASPECTS may be associated with neurological improvement in patients treated with intravenous t-PA.
We conclude that the early phase of hypertension is characterized by centripetal distribution of intravascular volume, leading to an increased preload to the left ventricle. This change in volume status appears to be related to cardiac structural adaptation to an increase in arterial pressure.
