Association between endothelial activation and stress index and all-cause mortality risk in cerebral infarction patients
Acute cerebral infarction (ACI) is a major cause of global morbidity and mortality, with endothelial dysfunction being a key factor in its pathophysiology. The Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX) is a novel biomarker reflecting endothelial injury and systemic stress; however, its prognostic role in mortalit...
