Vessel wall enhancement and high-sensitivity CRP as prognostic markers in intracranial atherosclerotic stroke: A prospective cohort study
The combination of EVWE and hs-CRP status might potentially offer prognostic information, with preliminary data suggesting that EVWE positivity and low hs-CRP levels could be associated with more favorable outcomes in patients receiving guideline-adherent medical treatment. These preliminary findings suggest a possible role for combining imaging and serum inflammatory biomarkers in risk stratification, though larger prospective studies are needed to confirm these associations.
