Markers closely associated with vWF, such as ADAMTS13 and FVIII, are also significantly different between stroke patients and controls; e.g., higher FVIII levels47and lower ADAMTS13 activity are found in stroke patients.51While there are no data on FVIII levels in the late phase after stroke, ADAMTS13 activity increases to normal levels.51 This evidence concerns the gene ADAMTS13 and Stroke.
