ABSTRACT Objective Higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with cardiovascular events and risk factors for stroke. Studies suggest that high sensitivity-CRP (hs-CRP) could be applied for stroke subtype classification but needs further validation. The utility of hs-CRP in the chronic phase also remains unclear. This study aimed to assess alterations in hs-CRP levels according to stroke subtypes from admission until three months follow-up.

Introduction Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide responsible for about 5.5 million deaths annually and another 5 million of the survivors severely chronically disabled.1,2 While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method of choice for diagnosing stroke, positron emission tomography (PET) is the gold standard for measuring regional cerebral perfusion (rCBF) using [15O]H2O.3 Quantitative perfusion measurements may offer complementary clinical information, and we have...
