Abstract :

 Introduction: Several studies in the past failed to demonstrate the relationship between serum lipid profiles as a risk factor for stroke. Objective: Determine the relationship between serum lipid levels and the occurrence of different types of stroke. Methods: A total of 100 patients were included in the study, with 50 consecutive patients of acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and 50 non–stroke patients. The influence of serum lipid profiles was assessed. Results: Ischemic stroke patients had lower mean levels of HDL and higher mean levels of total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL and triglycerides (p<0.01) than the control group. Hemorrhagic stroke patients had significantly lower levels of HDL and VLDL and higher levels of total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides (p<0.001) than the control group. Conclusions The type of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) and the etiopathogenic subtype of CI must be considered when studying association between blood lipids and occurrence of stroke
