Cerebrovascular Reactivity and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Opium Dependents: A Case-Control Study

There is still no consensus among researchers on the impact of opium dependency on cerebrovascular stenosis. Some studies suggest that opium may be a risk factor for ischemic stroke. This study compared carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and cerebrovascular reactivity between opium-dependent and healthy people
