Published Date: Jan 22, 2025

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Large vessel occlusions (LVO) account for over 60% of stroke-related mortality and disability. Lean body mass (LBM) represents metabolically active body tissue and has been associated with reduced mortality. This study aimed to investigate whether body composition influences LVO stroke perfusion volumes and whether this effect is sex-specific.
