Etiologic Subtypes, Risk Factors And Outcome Of Acute Ischemic Stroke With Young Patients

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...

Risk Factors, Outcome, and Treatment in Subtypes of Ischemic Stroke

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–based...

The Relation between GABA and L-Arginine Levels with some Stroke Risk Factors in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients

Changes in extra and intracellular neurotransmitter amino acids concentration in the early stage of acute cerebral ischemia have been reported. In this the study, serum level of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) and L-Arginine in acute ischemic stroke patients was assessed. 60 patients with acute ischemic stroke and sixthy healthy volunteers as a control group were assessed. Serum GABA was measure...

Risk factors and subtypes of acute ischemic stroke

OBJECTIVE To identify the different subtypes of acute ischemic stroke, and estimate the frequency of various risk factors among these patients. METHODS In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, we reviewed the medical records of patients admitted with the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke at King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia from March 2008 till December 2015....
