Comparison of risk factors for infarctive stroke and silent infarct.
| Problem . | Clinical Predictors . | Laboratory Predictors . |
|---|---|---|
| Infarctive stroke | Acute chest syndrome (recent or frequent) | Decreased hemoglobin |
| Increased blood pressure (systolic) | ||
| Prior TIA | ||
| Silent infarct | Prior seizures | Increased WBC (> 11.8 x 109/L) |
| Decreased pain event rate | SEN β globin haplotype |
