Study of Lipid Profile in Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Introduction: Stroke is defined as ‘abrupt onset of a neurological deficit that is attributable to a focal vascular cause. The role of circulating lipids and lipoproteins in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke remains uncertain despite three decades of research. Aim:1) To evaluate lipid profile 2) To study the association between serum lipids and ischemic stroke Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in Mamata General & Super Specialty Hospital, attached to Mamata Medical College, between September 2013 and August 2015 in 50 patients of>35 years of age. Results: The youngest patient in the study was 35 years old and the eldest was 83 years old. Maximum number of patients were in age group ≥ 65.60% of the cases were males and 40% of patients were females. There is male preponderance.MCA is involved in 58% cases. Out of 30 males 4, and out of 20 females 7, patients had hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia was 3rd major risk factor (22%) for stroke after hypertension and smoking. Conclusion: Thus prevention of atherosclerosis rather than treatment is the goal. Drug treatment for hyperlipidemia should be individualized based on the calculated risk and as per latest available guidelines.
