Role of hdl in cerebro vascular Accident,comparative study of hdl in Ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic Stroke

Abstract

Introduction: Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) represent a significant global health burden, with dyslipidemia emerging as a crucial modifiable risk factor. While the relationship between low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and stroke risk is wellestablished, the role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) remains less clearly defined, particularly regarding its differential association with stroke subtypes. This study aimed to investigate the role of HDL in cerebrovascular accidents and compare HDL levels between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke subtypes. Methods: This observational study included 98 stroke patients admitted to KLES Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital, Belagavi, over a one-year period. Demographic characteristics, risk factor profiles, lipid parameters, and stroke characteristics were documented. Stroke severity was assessed using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and functional outcomes were evaluated using the Modified Rankin Scale (MRS). Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics and comparison between stroke subtypes using appropriate tests.
