Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Individuals of African Caribbean descent who live in the United Kingdom have an increased risk of stroke. The reasons for this are not fully understood, but differences in genetic predispositions or other novel stroke risk factors could play a role. US blacks have been rep...
