Large artery disease, high blood glucose and leukocytes levels are associated with END. Elevated levels of blood markers NSE, IL-6, HsCRP and NT-proBNP indicate poor functional outcome at 90 days after AIS. These patients must be identified and be offered treatment immediately in order to improve the functional outcome after AIS.
