背景和目的-关于种族文化因素、性别相关变异和卒中危险因素的一些问题已经在文献中描述，但是，还没有前瞻性研究比较南美和北美人群之间的种族差异和卒中亚型。有人认为，阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯的本地人可能比北美受试者有更高的出血性中风和穿透性动脉疾病的频率。本研究的目的是验证这一hypothes. Methods的，我们研究了所有连续的急性中风患者的数据库承认的拉莫斯梅加医院（RMH）在布宜诺斯艾利斯和贝丝以色列女执事医疗中心（BIMC）在波士顿，马萨诸塞州，从1997年7月至1999年3月，根据急性卒中治疗试验（吐司）标准对卒中亚型进行分类。结果：RMH和BIMC卒中数据库分别纳入361例和479例卒中患者，BIMC组冠状动脉疾病发生率显著高于RMH组（P

It has been suggested that natives from Buenos Aires, Argentina, may have higher frequency of hemorrhagic strokes and penetrating artery disease than North American subjects. The aim of this study was to validate this hypothesis.Methods-We studied the database of all consecutive acute stroke patients admitted to the Ramos Mejia Hospital (RMH) in Buenos Aires and to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIMC) in Boston, Massachusetts, from July 1997 to March 1999, Stroke subtypes were classified according to the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) criteria. All information on patients (demographic, clinical, and radiographic) was recorded prospective to the assessment of the stroke subtype,Results-Three hundred sixty-one and 479 stroke patients were included at RMH and BIMC stroke data banks, respectively, Coronary artery disease was significantly more frequent in BIMC (P
