To assess the contribution of Dyslipidemia and other unknown risk factors in the occurrence of Ischaemic stroke
Hitesh Punyani

Aim: To assess the contribution of Dyslipidemia and other unknown risk factors in the occurrence of Ischaemic stroke. Material and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Medicine to examine the correlation between dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk factors in a sample of 100 patients with angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease. The study evaluated anthropometry and cardiovascular risk factors in all participants, and collected blood samples to analyze biochemical and inflammatory markers. The present investigation comprised a cohort of 100 participants who were admitted to the Department of Medicine for the purpose of evaluating chest discomfort and subsequently diagnosed with angiography positivity. Results: The study found no significant difference in total cholesterol level (168.41±17.26 vs. 198.24±10.45, P=0.78) and LDL cholesterol (103.21±7.21 vs. 98.41±8.45, P=0.54) between patients with and without atherogenic dyslipidemia. The study findings indicate that there was no significant statistical variation in the proportion of patients with hypercholesterolemia between those with and without atherogenic dyslipidemia. Conclusion: The occurrence of hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL cholesterol is more frequent than hypercholesterolemia in patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD). This indicates that a novel preventive strategy is required for individuals of Indian origin who have coronary artery disease (CAD).
