Article Synopsis
- * This systematic review included 22 studies focusing on elderly patients with clinical diagnoses of strokes, assessing how EPC levels relate to clinical outcomes.
- * Higher EPC levels were associated with better functional outcomes, reduced infarct growth, and lower recurrence risk in ischemic strokes, suggesting that EPC quantification could be valuable in evaluating stroke prognosis.

Objective: Common variants of the Paraoxonase (PON), 5-Methyl-Tetrahydrofolate-Reductase (MTHFR) and Angiotensin-II receptor 1 (AT1R) genes have been associated with ischemic stroke (IS) risk. Moreover, carotid atherosclerosis is a common cause of IS. The aim of this study is to explore whether variants in these genes associate with the severity of ultrasonographic determined atherosclerosis assessed in carotid arteries.
