Study Arms (3)

Acute stroke

Patients in the acute phase of atherothrombotic stroke or TIAs with 50-99% ACAS within the first 3 days af vascular event. Interventions to be administered: Biomarkers serum level measurement, history taking, neurological examination, duplex ultrasound, MMSE, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

Other: Biomarkers serum level measurement

Stable carotid artery stenosis

Patients with 50-99% ACAS without history of vascular events during one month before enrollment. Interventions to be administered: Biomarkers serum level measurement, history taking, neurological examination, duplex ultrasound, MMSE

Other: Biomarkers serum level measurement

Control group

Healthy volunteers without ACAS Interventions to be administered:Biomarkers serum level measurement, history taking, neurological examination, duplex ultrasound, MMSE

Other: Biomarkers serum level measurement

Interventions

Biomarker serum level measurement was performed with ELISA using following kits: Lp-PL-A2 ELISA- "Cloud-CloneCorp." (USA); PAPP-A ELISA- "IBL" (Germany); Lp (a) ELISA Kit-"AssayPro" (USA ), ADMA ELISA Kit- "ImmunDiagnostik" ( Germany); hsCRP ELISA- "Biomerica" (Germany); according to the manufacturer's instructions . Absorbance of standards and samples was measured with a microplate reader "Bio-Tek" (USA) at a wavelength specified by the kit manufacturer . The calculation of the determined biomarkers concentration was performed using the software SOFTmaxPRO.
