BACKGROUND: Several functional prothrombotic gene variants have been associated with cerebral ischemia and myocardial infarction. We hypothesized that such gene variants may also be associated with mortality after cerebral ischemia of arterial origin because of an increased risk of fatal vascular events. METHODS: We performed a case-control study in 316 long-term survivors and 887 patients with recent cerebral...
