Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: von Willebrand factor (vWF) plays an important role in thrombus formation during cerebrovascular damage. We sought to investigate the potential role of circulating vWF in recurrent cerebrovascular events and identify genetic contributors to variation in vWF level in an ischemic stroke population. METHODS: We analyzed the effect of circulating vWF on risk of recurrent stroke using survival...
