A Study of Correlation between Serum Triglycerides and Severity of Cerebrovascular Accident

Tanuku VSR Raghu*,Sreedhar T and Swamy A

Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide; it is accounting for up to 20 percent of all central nervous system disorders in the urban sectors of India. Stroke defined as an abrupt neurologic deficit that is attributable to focal vascular etiology. Risk factors for stroke mainly are hypertension, diabetes, carotid stenosis, smoking, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and atrial myxomas.

Nikolai Anichkov first proposed the relationship between cholesterol and atherosclerosis way back in 1912. Later on, observational studies have undoubtedly established hyperlipidemia as an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. Law confirmed that low cholesterol concentrations are associated with an increased risk of death from ischaemic heart disease. Weir observed that low Triglyceride (TG), not low Total Cholesterol concentration, predicts poor outcomes after acute stroke. The probable mechanism responsible for the association between TG level and stroke severity is unknown. This study is undertaken to correlate serum triglyceride levels on admission with the severity of stroke as measured by the Scandinavian stroke scale.
