Post-stroke inflammatory response: effects of stroke evolution and outcome

Kiat T Tan et al. Curr Atheroscler Rep. 2003 Jul.

Abstract

Recovery after stroke is often hindered by further neurologic deterioration, which can affect up to 45% of patients. It has been suggested that one of the major causes of this neurologic deterioration may be post-ischemic cerebral inflammation. This review presents the basis of pathophysiologic mechanisms of post-stroke inflammation and discusses possible targets and routes for therapeutic intervention.
