Age Stratification and Impact of Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid to Arachidonic Acid Ratios in Ischemic Stroke Patients.

The EPA/AA ratio may be related to aortic arch calcification for elderly stroke patients and to multiple infarctions and cerebral white matter disease for middle-aged stroke patients.
