Abstract :

BACKGROUND: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. It is a serious life threatening condition which continues to be a major public health problem leading to death and severe neurological disability. Dyslipidaemia refers to the presence of abnormal levels of lipids or lipoproteins in the blood. Dyslipidaemia is a major risk factor for cereal infarction. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to establish the role of serum lipid profile in patients of stroke in eastern area of Bihar. Therefore this study was designed to find out the patterns of dyslipidaemia in cases of acute ischaemic stroke and its relation to age and sex. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The study involved 140 patients of stroke who were admitted in Lord Budha Koshi Medical College, Saharsa, Bihar, from December 2014 to Feuary 2016. The patients were classified as having ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke definitive on the basis of CT scan of head (plain and contrast) and Lipid profile estimation. Lipid profile data for a total of 140 patients with Ischaemic Stroke were collected from patients admitted into the medical ward was determined. The lipid profile of the study sample was analyzed according to the ATP III classification for identification of dyslipidaemia. RESULT: In our study, we observe dyslipidaemia in 35.8% of the patients which constituting the risk factors in our ischaemic stroke. Furthermore the patterns of dyslipidaemia seen showed a high TC–31 %, LDL–13%, TG43% and low HDL–33% among the patients. The overall mean age of patient is 59.9±13.1 years, but mean age for male is 58.9±11.6 years, while female is 61.0±14.7 years. Out of 140 patients 46 had hemorrhagic stroke and 54 had Ischemic stroke. Abnormal lipid values were found in 54 patients. CONCLUSION: Regular monitor of lipid profile among stroke patients may decrease the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease among the stroke patients.
