Correlation between vascular stenosis severity and dizziness symptoms and neurological prognosis in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke

In elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke, severe arterial stenosis and VA/BA stenosis were linked to higher risks of dizziness and 3-month functional dependence. Posterior circulation infarction markedly increased the likelihood of dizziness. Enhanced vascular imaging assessment and attention to symptoms such as dizziness may help identify high-risk individuals and support personalized management.
