Abstract
The relationship of lipids and Lp(a) to ischemic stroke hasn't been established yet. Our aim was to determine lipid profile and vascular risk factors in stroke patients and compare them with control subjects. Seventy-nine consecutive patients with ischemic stroke were analyzed by total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, triglyceride, Lp(a) and doppler ultrasonography and vascular risk factors were recorded. Thirty control subjects of same ages were compared with the patient group. Lp(a) and lipids were correlated with stroke subtype and carotid atherosclerosis. There was no statistical significance between patients and control subjects related to total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-C, LDL-C and Lp(a) (P>0.05). Atherotrombotic and lacunar strokes didn't show any difference correlated with lipids and Lp(a). Hypertension and diabetes mellitus were important risk factors with (OR=4.50, 95% CI=1.25-16.22) and (OR=4.43, 95% CI=1.79-10.93) respectively. These results were statistically significant (P<0.05). Total cholesterol (308.67+/-85.82) and Lp(a) (32.10+/-17.30) values showed statistical significance (P<0.05) in patients with marked stenosis when compared with patients of normal doppler ultrasonography. Hypertension and diabetes mellitu...Continue Reading
