NCT02308605
Brief Summary:
The hypothesis is that a stroke causes release of purines from brain into blood and that this is a very early biomarker of brain ischaemia. The investigators propose a simple blood test of substances (the purines) that result from cellular metabolism and are produced in excess when brain cells are starved of oxygen and glucose (as occurs during a stroke).
Detailed Description:
In this study, the investigators propose to use newly developed biosensor technology (SMARTCap) to directly address whether purines are indicators of real strokes, and can distinguish strokes from other conditions with similar symptoms, more rapidly.
