METHOD FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF ISCHEMIC STROKE

摘要

The invention relates to an in vitro method for the diagnosis of ischemic stroke in a patient, comprising determining the quantity of heat shock cognitive protein 70 (HSC70). In addition, the invention relates to a method for choosing or recommending the administration of a suitable pharmacological treatment for ischemic stroke, comprising the following steps consisting in: a) determining, in vitro, the quantity of HSC70 in a patient suspected of having suffered an ischemic stroke; and b) comparing the quantity of HSC70 determined in step (a) with a reference value. If the quantity of HSC70 is above the reference value the initiation of the treatment is recommended, but if the quantity of HSC70 is equal to or less than the reference value the initiation of the treatment is not recommended. Finally, the invention relates to the use of the HSC70 protein in the diagnosis of a stroke of ischemic etiology.
