Abstract
TIA is associated with higher ICAM-1, IL-6 and CRP, pointing to the marked inflammatory response to cerebral ischaemia. Inflammatory markers are associated with higher IMT and lower BHI, indicating the insufficient cerebral perfusion due to the underlying atherosclerotic disease. Our findings highlight the key significance of inflammation in the early response to ischaemia during the transitory ischaemic episode.
