Abstract :

High Blood pressure and High lipid level, both can be modify through change in lifestyle. It is estimated that 70% of strokes are potentially preventable by lifestyle modification but prospective evidence is needed to support these hypotheses derived from epidemiological studies. Aim of our study to compare the Lipid Profile patterns between acute ischemic and acute hemorrhagic stroke patients. Present study was conducted in the department of General Medicine in R.G.Kar Medical College & Hospital, West Bengal. 100 patients were selected using above defined criteria, 50 patients had in acute ischemic stroke and 50 patients had in acute haemorrhegic stroke. Present study was conducted from July 2018 to June 2019. We found that total cholesterol, Triglyceride, LDL, VLDL and HDL influenced the significant risk of developing an ischemic stroke. Low HDL – cholesterol is also significantly more prevalent in ischemic CVA group in our study. Findings suggested that ischemic stroke patients had higher serum total cholesterol and lower HDL- cholesterol levels in comparison to hemorrhagic stroke. Systolic Blood Pressure and Diastolic Blood Pressure were significantly associated with haemorrhagic stroke. Dyslipidemia is associated with both types of stroke. However hyper cholesterolemia is significantly more associated with ischemic CVA.
