Fig. 3From: Elevated blood viscosity is associated with cerebral small vessel disease in patients with acute ischemic strokeBlood viscosity and stroke subtypes. The diastolic blood viscosity was highest in patients with SAO stroke a. The systolic blood viscosity, hematocrit, blood fibrinogen level, and BUN/Cr ratio were not different among the stroke subtypes b, c, d, and e. *p < 0.05 on ANOVA; **p < 0.05 on the post-hoc test; ns, not significant; SAO, small artery occlusion; LAA, large artery atherosclerosis; CE, cardioembolism; Cryp, cryptogenic stroke; MM, stroke mimic; DBV, diastolic blood viscosity; SBV, systolic blood viscosity; Hct, hematocrit; BUN, blood urea nitrogenBack to article page
