Summary

Aim of the study is assessment the prevalence of the low ankle-brachial index (ABI) defined less than or equal 0.9 in patients with acute cerebral ischemic event (stroke or transient ischemic attack) and determinate the correlation between ABI and internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS) in the acute cerebral ischemic patients.

The low ABI is a strong marker of generalized atherosclerosis. LEAD is a strong independent predictor for stroke.
