Do Commonly Obtained Laboratory Data Differ between Lacunar and Non-Lacunar Strokes in the Acute Setting? (P03.185)

This finding supports the existence of different pathways leading to these two main types of cerebral infarction, possibly related to distinct contributions from systemic inflammation.Supported by: Clinical Science Research & Development Service of the VA Office of Research and Development (Award number1I01CX000340).Disclosure: Dr. Vaughn has received personal compensation for activities with various multiple sclerosis surveys.
