  2. 1. Genetic association studies in stroke

    Author : Claes Ladenvall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : stroke; ischemic stroke subtypes; subarachnoid hemorrhage; genetics; polymorphism; fibrinolysis; tPA; PAI-1; TAFI; CRP; Factor XIII;

    Abstract : Stroke is the third most common cause of death and the most common cause of disability in adults in developed countries. It is a complex disease in which genetic and environmental factors make about equal contributions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Risk factors in ischemic stroke

    Author : Katarina Jood; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : stroke; ischemic stroke subtypes; genetics; polymorphism; fibrinolysis; obesity; stress;

    Abstract : Ischemic stroke is a complex disease in which environmental and genetic factors make about equal contributions to the etiology. However, knowledge regarding the molecular basis of the genetic influence and the impact of specific lifestyle factors is limited. READ MORE

  5. 3. Population-based studies of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke

    Author : John Berntsson; Kardiovaskulär forskning - epidemiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; Ischemic stroke; Biomarker; Stroke; Natriuretic peptides; Vascular endothelial growth factor; Epidemiology; Atrial Fibrillation; Stroke; Ischemic stroke; Natriuretic peptides; Vascular endothelial growth factor; Epidemiology;

    Abstract : AbstractBackground: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke and the most common cause of cardioembolic stroke. Early detection of AF and AF subjects at high risk for stroke is therefore important. READ MORE

  6. 4. Stroke epidemiology in Southern Sweden. Trends in incidence and survival across two decades with projections into the future

    Author : Björn Hallström; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; hospitalization; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; trends; survival; incidence; stroke; epidemiology;

    Abstract : Background: Stroke is a major cause of death and disability. Investigations of the epidemiological trends for stroke might result in better understanding of stroke pathogenesis and prevention. READ MORE

  7. 5. The hemostatic pathway in ischemic stroke. Clinical studies of genetic variation and plasma protein measurements

    Author : Ellen Hanson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ischemic stroke; etiologic subtypes of ischemic stroke; genetics; SNP; hemostasis; prothrombotic; ADAMTS13; VWF; ABO blood group; FSAP; FXI;

    Abstract : Although stroke is a common cause of death and disability in adults, there are few studies on stroke compared to other common diseases. A stroke could be either ischemic or hemorrhagic, but even within these two groups, disease etiology shows heterogeneity. READ MORE
