Abstract WP172: Using a Novel and Noninvasive Cerebral Augmentation Index as Evaluated by External Counterpulsation to Predict Long-term Clinical Outcome After Acute Ischemic Stroke

Background and Objectives: External counterpulsation (ECP) is a non-invasive method used to augment cerebral blood flow of patients with ischaemic stroke via induced hypertension. We aimed to inves...
