Plasma Free Fatty Acids Profile As A Diagnostic Tool For Acute Ischemic Stroke

Completed

Conditions studied: Stroke, Acute

In brief

The purpose of the research is to use plasma free fatty acid profiling as a biomarker for ischemic stroke. The plasma free acid profile will be specifically and significantly changed in early stages upon stroke onset, and correlate with the stroke volume and progression determined by imaging techniques.
