Cerebrovascular disease is a major unsolved medical problem. It is the third leading cause of death in persons over 45 years of age, ranking only behind heart disease and cancer, and it is the foremost crippler of all diseases in the United States (1-2). I n the face of such a challenge, there is a remarkable void in our knowledge of the subject despite extensive current clinical and laboratory research.
