Black individuals experience higher stroke rates. This study found elevated D-dimer levels in Black stroke patients, suggesting potential differences in coagulation factors contributing to racial disparities in stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Hematology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Racial disparities in stroke incidence, morbidity, and mortality are well-documented, with Black individuals facing disproportionately higher risks compared to White individuals.
  • Understanding the underlying biological mechanisms contributing to these disparities is crucial for targeted prevention and treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and compare specific coagulation factors between Black and White stroke patient populations.
  • To identify potential hematological markers that may explain the observed racial differences in stroke outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of coagulation profiles in diagnosed stroke patients stratified by race (Black vs. White).
  • Comparison of key coagulation markers including D-dimer, lupus anticoagulant, Protein C, Protein S, and platelet factor 4.

  • Assessment of platelet responsiveness to epinephrine stimulation.

    • Main Results:

    • D-dimer levels were found to be significantly elevated more frequently in Black stroke patients compared to White patients.
    • Non-significant trends indicated a higher prevalence of positive lupus anticoagulant, lower Protein C and Protein S levels, and elevated platelet factor 4 in the Black cohort.
    • Platelet hyporesponsiveness to epinephrine was also observed more frequently in Black individuals, though not statistically significant.

    Conclusions:

    • Elevated D-dimer in Black stroke patients suggests a potential role for hypercoagulability in explaining racial disparities in stroke.
    • Observed trends in other coagulation factors warrant further investigation to fully elucidate their contribution to stroke risk differences.
    • These findings highlight the importance of considering race-specific hematological profiles in stroke research and clinical practice.
