Abstract

Stroke is the third leading cause of death and an important cause of longterm disability. Up to 10% of stroke patients is younger than 45 years old. In the present study we measured and compared TF and TFPI concentrations in 50 ischemic stroke patients up to the age of fifty and in 30 control subjects matched for age. TF concentration was significantly higher in ischemic stroke patients, TFPI concentration did not differ compared to controls. No relationship was established between TF and TFPI in relation to clinical subtypes of stroke, sex, smoking, plasma cholesterol level, hypertension, previous stroke.
