Abstract

FMD was low in patients with lacunar infarction. NMD was similar between the lacunar infarction group and the control group. These results are suggestive of pure endothelial dysfunction in lacunar infarction. Endothelial dysfunction was as severe in lacunar infarction as in intracranial arterial stenosis.
