An investigation of the involvement of dyslipidemia and other unknown risk factors in ischemic stroke in our community
Braj Kishore Singh, Santosh Kumar

Aim: An investigation of the involvement of dyslipidemia and other unknown risk factors in ischemic stroke in our community. Methods: This research comprised 90 people who were admitted to the Medicine Department for an assessment of chest pain and were later found to be angiography positive. BMI was calculated by multiplying a person's weight in kilogrammes by their height in metres squared. Blood samples were obtained 14 hours after fasting. Cholesterol oxidase, an enzymatic reaction, was employed to test lipids, and the Freidwald technique was used to calculate LDL cholesterol and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Results: Males had a higher proportion of T2DM, dyslipidemia, and high blood pressure than females. Total cholesterol (170.8815.96 vs. 200.117.85, P = 0.69) and LDL cholesterol (105.027.23 vs. 100.026.63, P = 0.59) levels in individuals with and without atherogenic dyslipidemia were similar. There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of individuals with hypercholesterolemia between those who had atherogenic dyslipidemia and those who did not. Cardiovascular risk variables were shown to be much greater in individuals with atherogenic dyslipidemia, with a statistically significant difference in both groups. Conclusion: Hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL cholesterol are more common in people with CAD than hypercholesterolemia. This demonstrates the need for a new preventive strategy among Indians with CAD.
