“…22 Finally, the prospective epidemiological Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study reported that plasma protein C appeared protective against ischemic stroke but not myocardial infarction. 23 On the other hand, in other case-control studies, prevalences of these deficiencies were similar between cases with ischemic stroke 7,24 or myocardial infarction 7,25,26 and matched controls, even young patients. 25,26 Furthermore, in the ARIC study, low levels of plasma protein C and antithrombin were not related to coronary heart disease.…”
