Evaluation of Homocysteine Level as a Risk Factor among Patients with Ischemic Stroke and Its Subtypes
Background: Epidemiological research has shown that increased total homocysteine (tHcy) levels are associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic disease; however, controversy still exists over which subtype of stroke is allied to hyperhomocysteinemia. This study aimed to investigate whether elevated tHcy is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke and to compare tHcy levels in patie...
متن کاملLipid profiles and ischemic stroke risk: variations by sex within racial/ethnic groups
Evidence implicates lipid abnormalities as important but modifiable risk factors for stroke. This study assesses whether hypercholesterolemia can be used to predict the risk for etiologic subtypes of ischemic stroke between sexes within racial/ethnic groups. Data elements related to stroke risk, diagnosis, and outcomes were abstracted from the medical records of 3,290 acute stroke admissions be...
متن کاملRisk Factors, Outcome, and Treatment in Subtypes of Ischemic Stroke

Methods—We analyzed data from 5017 patients with acute ischemic stroke (42.4% women, aged 65.9 14.1 years) who were enrolled in a large multicenter hospital–based...
متن کاملRisk factors, outcome, and treatment in subtypes of ischemic stroke: the German stroke data bank.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Data on risk factors for etiologic subtypes of ischemic stroke are still scant. The aim of this study was to characterize stroke subtypes regarding risk factor profile, outcome, and current treatment strategies. METHODS We analyzed data from 5017 patients with acute ischemic stroke (42.4% women, aged 65.9+/-14.1 years) who were enrolled in a large multicenter hospital-b...
متن کاملPatterns and predictors of early risk of recurrence after transient ischemic attack with respect to etiologic subtypes.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The risk of recurrent stroke is highest within the first few weeks after a transient ischemic attack (TIA), and it is likely to be related to the underlying pathology. We sought to study the early risk of recurrent stroke by etiologic subtype. METHODS We prospectively studied 388 TIA patients. The cause of TIA was classified according to the Trial of ORG 10172 criteria:...
