Abstract :

Background: Stroke is a common worldwide health problem. It is major cause of Morbidity, mortality and disability in developed as well as developing countries. The reason for the decline in the incidence of major stroke in recent years is unclear. Hence the study is undertaken with the following aim as to study serum homocysteine levels in Cereovascular accidents as a risk factor for stroke. Methodology: All patients of cereovascular accidents admitted to Meenakshi medical college hospital from January 2015 to October 2016. To whom detailed history taking and thorough examination was done. Results: There is significant association between the Serum Homocyteine level and Blood pressure. And the same significance is found with Life style also. Conclusion: . It is therefore important to use serum homocysteine level as an important tool to investigate all cases of cereovascular accidents and also in those who are at risk of developing stroke.
