Abstract excerpt
Ischemic stroke has been named one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Whereas numerous biological mechanisms and molecules were found to be associated with stroke, platelets are particularly contributive to its pathogenesis. Recent data indicate considerable variability in platelet phenotype which accounts for differences in platelet surface receptor function, count and reactivity. These features...
