Project Objective

Ischemic stroke (IS) is the second most common cause of death in Europe, responsible for approximately 1.1 million deaths annually. The study will assess the usefulness and relevance of the new molecules as potential biomarkers of platelet activation in ESUS patients, namely platelet-derived extracellular microparticles and selected microRNAs.
