Endothelins (ETs) are potent vasoconstrictors and may play a role in the pathophysiology of several diseases. Limited and controversial data exist on their role in human ischemic stroke. We planned a prospective, observational, and longitudinal clinical study to test whether ET-1 levels increase in various phases of ischemic stroke and whether the ET-1 levels correlate with neurological scores, stroke etiology, stroke risk factors, or final outcome.
