Popis: Background Progressive arterial stiffening may increase the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events in ischemic stroke survivors. Information about factors associated with progressive arterial stiffening during the follow-up of young patients with ischemic stroke is lacking.Methods Arterial stiffness by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) and ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure (24hBP) were assessed in 81 women and 190 men ≤60 years of age included in the Norwegian Stroke in the Young (NOR-SYS) study 3 months and 5.5 years after the incident ischemic stroke, representing baseline and follow-up. Covariables of change in cf-PWV were identified using linear regression analysis.Results At baseline, women had less prevalent hypertension (53% vs. 69%, p
