Cerebrovascular accidents association between serum trace elements and toxic metals level, a case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) are among the most common complications of patients today. As the prevalence of ischemic CVAs rises, detecting related risk factors is crucial. Metal concentration has previously been considered a major risk factor in several neural complications, and in this study, we will investigate this.

Methods

In this case-control study, 70 CVA (clinically approved ischemic stroke cases by imaging and NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS)) and 70 individuals with no history of CVA controls were enrolled as the control group. The serum level of several metals, including Fe (Iron), Co (Cobalt), Ni (Nickel), Cu (copper), Zn (Zinc), Mn (Manganese), Pb (lead), Hg (Mercury), has been assessed using Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method.
