As the aging population and unhealthy diet pattern continue to increase, diabetes has become common in both developed and developing countries. A great amount of studies have investigated the relationship between diabetes and vascular events like ischemic stroke. Diabetes is a well-established etiology for ischemic stroke. Diabetes accelerates the process of atherosclerosis and enlarges the plaques in the large cerebral artery, which is the leading cause of ischemic stroke. Small artery disease is common in diabetic patients. Additionally, the prognosis outcome for stroke in patients with diabetes is relatively poor, as diabetes is a risk factor of cognitive decline after stroke. Recently, emerging evidence and tools like thrombectomy have raised some new concerns towards the role of diabetes in the ischemic stroke. For example, many researchers have noticed that there is higher incidence of diabetes in the posterior circulation stroke like pontine infarction. Hence further investigation is needed to uncover the role of diabetes in ischemic stroke.
This Research Topic aims to uncover the roles of diabetes in the etiology, pathophysiology, treatment, prognosis of stroke, especially ischemic stroke. We welcome submissions of original research articles, reviews, systemic reviews, meta-analysis and short communications in the following subtopics, but not limited to:
• Diabetes in the prognosis of intravenous thrombolysis, embolectomy and bridge therapy.
• Impact of diabetes on the outcome of ischemic stroke especially posterior circulation stroke.
• Pathophysiological mechanisms of diabetes on the ischemic stroke.
• Relationship of diabetes with small artery diseases.
• The effect of diabetes on cardiovascular disease and other peripheral vascular diseases.
