A study of lipid profile in non-diabetic patients with cerebrovascular accidents at tertiary health care center
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke is defined as abrupt onset of a neurologic deficit that is attributable to a focal vascular cause. CVA is divided into Ischemic and Hemorrhagic stroke. Aims and Objectives: To study lipid profile in non-diabetic patients with cerebrovascular accidents at tertiary health care center. Methodology: All non-diabetic patients with features of stroke admitted to tertiary care hospital from December 2013 to December 2015 were taken for the study. Data will be collected by means of case record form. All non-diabetic patients of cerebrovascular accidents were enrolled in this study. All the patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study Lipid profile after 8 hours of fasting, Serum total cholesterol, Serum triglyceride, Serum HDL, Serum LDL, Serum VLDL was done. Result: The maximum number of patients 14 (28%) were found in 50-55 year age group and minimum number of patients 3 (6%) were found in age group 70-75year and the extreme age group patients (>75year) were found to be 5 (10%). Male: female sex distribution out of 50 patients; 33:17 which contributes 66% and 34% whole population. 22% patients were having abnormal STC, 68% of the patients were having abnormal Triglycerides, 64% patients were having abnormal LDL, 60 % of the patients were having abnormal HDL, 68% of the patients were having abnormal VLDL. Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that the most common type lipid abnormality was abnormal Triglycerides, abnormal VLDL, abnormal LDL in the patients so these parameters should be considered while predicting the risk of stroke in any dyslipidemic patient.
