Our data suggest CSC as a cerebrovascular risk factor resulting in higher rates of early cerebral ischemia and unfavorable outcomes after aSAH. However, by increasing arterial stiffness, CSC might lower the probability of vasospasm, which could explain the missing link between CSC and delayed cerebral ischemia. Additionally, aspirin intake seems to potentially mitigate the negative impact of CSC on aSAH outcome. Further investigations are needed to confirm the observations from the present study.
