Introduction: Increased pulse wave velocity (PWV) has a U-shaped relation with low <0.9 and high >1.3 abnormal ankle-brachial index (ABI). Increased PWV and abnormal ABI are associated with increased stroke risk. Transient Ischaemic Attack increases the 90-day stroke risk by 20–50%. Studies of PWV in TIA, however, are limited.Methods: A detailed medical history was taken from 17 TIA patients and 28 controls. PWV was measured using the Vicord...
