Common clinical blood and urine biomarkers for ischemic stroke: an Estonian Electronic Health Records database study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a major health risk without generally usable effective measures of primary prevention. Early warning signals that are easy to detect and widely available can save lives.
