Lacunar stroke (LS) can be subtyped according to the absence (isolated lacunar infarct [ILA]) or presence of concomitant white matter lesions (WML) and/or asymptomatic lacunar infarcts. Endothelial activation is thought to play a pivotal role in the subtype with WML and/or asymptomatic lacunar infarcts. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether endothelial activation is associated with WML and/or asymptomatic lacunar infarcts in LS patients. Here, we determined levels of circulating blood markers of endothelial function in LS patients.
