Blood lipids in patients with stroke
Disorder of lipid metabolism is one of the most important risk factors for stroke. Timely and correct diagnosis of dyslipidemia is an essential component of secondary prevention of stroke. Analysis of lipid metabolism of patients after stroke showed large prevalence rate of elevated levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins in the examined population. The study of blood lipids in patients after stroke makes it possible to detect marked gender differences of studied biochemical parameters. The integrated approach to the detecting and treatment of dyslipidemia is able to ensure the effective prevention of recurrent strokes.
