Stroke results in considerable morbidity and mortality in worldwide. PAD may be a particularly potent predictor of comorbid CBVD, with evidence of significant concurrent CBVD defined by carotid stenosis on Doppler imaging or by cerebrovascular events. The objective of this study is to measure the Prevalence of peripheral arterial diseases in patient with large artery ischemic stroke and its’ prognostic value. In this study 100 with large artery ischemic stroke were recruited from Nasr city insurance hospital. Evaluation was done by history talking, clinical examination, full labs (including chemistry and lipid profile), E.C.G or echo cardiography, CT brain or MRI & MRA brain, carotid duplex or CT angiography or conventional angiography, duplex on both lower limbs arteries and measuring ABI and function assessment by NIHSS at day 0,7 and 30. Our study included 100 cases were 80 male and 20 female ages range from 36 to 85 years old mean of age 62
