- The study investigates the relationship between the renin-angiotensin system and acute ischemic stroke (AIS), focusing on the role of serum indicators like angiotensin I (Ang I) in predicting patient outcomes after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).
- Researchers analyzed data from AIS patients who underwent EVT and compared various health indicators between them and healthy controls, identifying key risk factors including advanced age, high blood glucose, high D-dimer, and high prothrombin activity.
- The findings revealed that lower Ang I levels were associated with AIS, while higher levels correlated with better prognosis; a nomogram utilizing Ang I and the albumin-globulin ratio showed significant predictive ability (AUC = 0.859
