1 Levels of heparin-releasable TFPI are increased in first-ever lacunar stroke patients. Heparin tissue factor pathway inhibitor Homo sapiens
2 Heparin-releasable free FL TFPI was determined in a random subset of 17 patients and 15 controls. Heparin tissue factor pathway inhibitor Homo sapiens
3 However, levels of heparin-releasable free FL TFPI were higher in patients than in controls. Heparin tissue factor pathway inhibitor Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSIONS: Although ambient plasma levels of total TFPI were not different in subtypes of LS, the increased levels of heparin-releasable TFPI in patients suggest a role of endothelial activation in the pathogenesis of LS. Heparin tissue factor pathway inhibitor Homo sapiens
