Overview

Introduction:
Acute stroke represents the severe state both for the patient as well as for the physician. Poor outcome with residual handicap brings the problems both for the family and for the society and the therapy and follow-up is cost expensive.

Patients and methods:
50 consecutive patients with acute stroke were admitted to the acute care unit at the internal medicine department. During acute care blood sample was examined with Lipoprint method to evaluate their lipid parameters. Size of LDL particles spectrum (LDL 1–7), before starting the drug treatment were measured.

Results:
Atherogenic profile was detected in more than three quarters of the stroke patients comparing to the controls. Presence of atherogenic smalldense LDL particles significantly differs among stroke patients to the healthy controls.

Conclusion:
Early hypolipidemic treatment among patients with acute stroke is recommended in order to lower their high cardiovascular risk.

Key words:
stroke – lipoproteins – LDL-cholesterol
