METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING AND TREATING CEREBROVASCULAR EVENTS BASED ON NR2 PEPTIDES

摘要

Methods and kits for diagnosing and treating cerebrovascular events, and for defining the time and anatomical location of an event, are provided based on the detection and quantification of bound or total and unbound NR2 peptides in biological fluids. The methods are optionally performed in conjunction with neurological scoring and neuroimaging, and are directed to risk assessment, prognosis, diagnosis and treatment of TIA and stroke on an emergency basis in the emergency room.
