The chemical elements contents in the hair and blood of the patients with ischemic stroke
The content of chemical elements in hair and blood at 31 patients with ischemic stroke (IS), as well as the distribution of macro- and microelements in hair samples along their length retrospectively was estimated by laser atomic emission spectrometry. It has been shown a decreasing of magnesium and copper in their hair and blood, and calcium and iron concentrations in the hair of patients with IS, which can be viewed as predictors of acute cerebral ischemia. Retrospective analysis of the concentration of calcium, magnesium and aluminum according to the hair length in patients with IS to evaluate changes in the content of chemical elements in real time and make the individual “bioelementny portrait” of the patient over a long period, is determined only by the length of the hair.
