Abstract
Differences in both clinical and laboratory parameters related to gender are seen in different types of acute cerebrovascular accident. Men have a higher incidence of CVA through most of life, while this applies to women only in the elderly. Gender-related differences in the risk of developing stroke depend on a whole series of factors, including genetic factors and hormonal changes during life. Results from experimental studies of gender differences in CVA provide evidence of heterogeneity in parameters of neuron cell death in males and females in experimental ischemic stroke. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying the development of stroke in men and women may facilitate the creation of appropriate therapeutic strategies.
