Low protein C and incidence of ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 10/27/09
Folsom AR et al. – In this cohort study, low protein C was a risk factor for incident ischemic stroke but not coronary heart disease. Levels of protein C associated with stroke risk were not restricted to the traditional 'deficient' range for protein C (< 0.5 percentile), suggesting that other etiologies for a lower protein C, or genetic variants associated with more subtle changes in protein C, are playing a role in disease pathogenesis.
