Elevated Tissue Plasminogen Activator Antigen and Stroke Risk,The Stroke Prevention in Young Women Study
Stroke 30:7-11, Macko,R.F.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This population-based case control study shows that elevated plasma tPA antigen level is independently associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke in nondiabetic females 15 to 44 years of age. These findings support the hypothesis that impaired endogenous fibrinolysis is an important risk factor for stroke in young women.
