The purpose of this study is to determine whether levels of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (cEPC) are increased in the acute phase of ischemic stroke.
Endothelial dysfunction is a key component of atherosclerosis which contributes to the development of cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases. However, endothelial dysfunction (ED) is not established as a risk factor for ischemic stroke.
As a novelty the proposed trial investigates the following variety of indirect markers of endothelial function in acute ischemic stroke:
circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC), endothelial microparticles (EMP), ENDOPAT (RH- PAT ratio) in two regards:
It is not known whether these parameters are changed after acute cerebral ischemia and could possibly serve as specific target for treatment.
