Description
Zhiyong Cao and co-authors test whether a blood inflammation marker, pentraxin-3, predicts a second stroke within a year in patients whose first stroke came from narrowed brain arteries. They followed nearly four hundred patients prospectively and recorded who suffered a new stroke after stabilizing. About twenty-eight percent relapsed within the year.
Marker levels at admission were clearly higher in those who relapsed. The marker also tracked with age, cholesterol, other inflammation measures, and stroke severity. After adjusting for confounders, it remained an independent predictor of recurrence. The authors suggest the marker could flag high-risk patients, and that lowering it might one day be a treatment target worth testing.
