Anticardiolipin antibodies are not an independent risk factor for stroke: an incident case-referent study nested within the MONICA and Västerbotten cohort project.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) have been proposed to be an independent risk factor for stroke. To test this hypothesis, a nested case-control study was performed to compare aCL with the other known risk factors for stroke. METHODS Within the framework of the World Health Organization Multinational Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease (MONICA...
متن کاملAn Independent Risk Factor for Stroke?
Background—Leukoaraiosis, a term that defines an abnormal appearance of the subcortical white matter of the brain on neuroimaging (bilateral patchy or diffuse areas of low attenuation on CT or hyperintense T2 MR areas), has gained evidence in retrospective studies to demonstrate its association with stroke and in prospective studies to demonstrate its prognostic value related to the occurrence ...

متن کاملIschemic stroke associated with anticardiolipin antibodies.
Anticardiolipin antibodies are a group of antiphospholipid autoantibodies seen primarily in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases. We report 3 patients, 2 without systemic lupus, who suffered ischemic brain infarction associated with these antibodies in the absence of detectable lupus anticoagulant activity. Anticardiolipin antibodies, possibly associated with...
متن کاملProspective study of anticardiolipin antibodies in stroke.
Over 2 years, 104 patients underwent clinical evaluation and laboratory screening for the presence of abnormal anticardiolipin antibodies to determine the profile of laboratory and clinical findings in patients with stroke and other neurologic disorders. Seven with incomplete or ambiguous data were excluded; of the remaining 97 patients, 31 were greater than or equal to 65 years old. Nine patie...
