Abstract
Arterial hypercoagulability can lead to cerebrovascular disease. Common causes of venous thromboembolism, including factor V Leiden, the prothrombin 20210 mutation, deficiencies of proteins C and S, and antithrombin deficiency are not likely to be associated with stroke. Rather, polymorphisms in fibrinogen, the factor XIII gene, and platelet glycoproteins are congenital abnormalities that have...Keywords
