Blood Coagulation Detector Helps Monitor Stroke Risk

An analyzer recently developed to measure blood coagulability has the sensitivity to detect hypercoagulability associated with stroke risk in those without atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes an irregular and sometimes fast heart rate, and is a common risk factor for stroke. More...
