بررسی تغییرات تری گلیسیرید و کلسترول به تفکیک LDL و HDL در بیماران با استروک ایسکمیک بستری در بخش نورولوژی بیمارستان سینا همدان در طول یکسال (79-1378)

          The aim of this study was evaluation of triglyceride and cholesterol levels in    patients  with  ischemic  stroke admitted in neurology ward during one year    (99-2000).Hyperlipidemia  is  one of the risk factor for  atherosclerosis and     ischemic stroke . Several studies have done for evaluation of changes in      triglyceride and cholesterol  level (HDL , LDL) in ischemic stroke patients. In the    present investigation , these changes were studied in relation to age, sex and    other risk factors. This study was supposed to answered to this question :  Is there    any difference between Iranian patients and patients of other nationalities with    regard to diet , race and  cultural backgrounds?           In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, 115 ischemic stroke  patients ,     admitted in neurology ward of Sina hospital,  during one year, were    selected. After confirming the diagnosis of ischemic stroke , blood samples    were sent to laboratory. Data obtained,  was analyzed by EPI6 package.           Fifty four percent of patients were male and 46%  were female . The    majority of them were urban resident and half of them came with    hemiplegia. Cholesterol and LDL levels were increased  in  58% and 49%,    respectively, and HDL levels were decreased in 60% of patients.  Most    increases in cholesterol and LDL levels were  seen in patients between   61-70    years  age groups. These changes were more frequent  in female patients    than  in males and  more in patients with Hypertension.           This study showed that there are  significant changes  in the levels of    cholesterol , LDL and HDL, in patients   with ischemic stroke. In the studied     population , hypertension and hyperlipidemia (Increased levels of cholesterol    and LDL , decreased of HDL)  were  the major risk factors for ischemic stroke.    Triglyceride was not shown  to have any significant role. we hope that to    perform  other studies   in   larger skills, to evaluate some ambiguous findings.
