Why is it important?
Stroke is caused by the imbalance between thrombus forming and removing activities. A new blood test, Glotal Thrombosis Test, enabled to assess both activities using non-anticoagulated blood (native blood). This test demonstrated that prothrombotic state is high at the event of stroke but return to normal by medication.
Perspectives
Thrombotic status of individuals can be assessed by Global Thrombotic Test (GTT). As selection of antithrombotic diet and effect of exercise have been published, stroke can be prevented in future.
