Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people age 18 and older who have had a heart attack or an ischemic stroke, or those who are healthy without chronic diseases. Participants will help researchers understand how certain blood cells react to heart and brain injuries.

About This Trial
The purpose of this research study is to discover the functions of circulating white blood cells, called monocytes, and associated circulating substances in heart attack and ischemic stroke patients. Ischemic Strokes (clots) occur as a result of an obstruction within a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. A type of monocyte carrying a surface marker called "P2X4" helps the immune system sens…
