Cardiovascular thrombotic conditions were estimated to account for 1 in 4 deaths worldwide in 2010 and are the leading cause of global mortality. Divided into arterial and venous thromboses, ischaemic heart disease and ischemic stroke comprise the major arterial thromboses and deep-vein thrombosis
Patients admitted to the acute stroke unit at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust and who require nasogastric (NG) feeding will be eligible for recruitment, patients will be screened and assessed for eligibility on the stroke unit by a member of the local research team, confirmed by a
Atherosclerosis, characterized by the accumulation of lipids and inflammatory cells in the large arteries, is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in developed and developing countries. Atherosclerotic plaque rupture-induced thrombosis or obstruction of artery is the most
