Is the acetazolamide test valid for quantitative assessment of maximal cerebral autoregulatory vasodilation? An experimental study.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Enhanced thromboxane (TX) biosynthesis has previously been reported in the acute phase after ischemic stroke. We investigated whether enhanced urinary excretion of 11-dehydro-TXB2, a noninvasive index of platelet activation, was present in the chronic phase after a transient ischemic attack (TIA)...
