Background and PurposezzVascular shear stress is essential for maintaining the morphology
and function of endothelial cells. We hypothesized that shear stress in the internal carotid artery (ICA) may differ between patients with ischemic stroke and healthy control subjects.
MethodszzICA shear stress was calculated in 143 controls and 122 patients with ischemic stroke who had a normal ICA or an ICA with
