Comparison of risk factors for ischemic stroke and coronary events in a population-based cohort
Abstract Background Although coronary events (CE) and ischemic stroke share many risk factors, there are also some important differences. The aim of this paper was to assess the association of risk factors in relation to incident CE and ischemic stroke and to evaluate the heterogeneity in patterns o...
