Abstract


 


In this study, we analyzed the relationship of serum lipoprotein (a) levels and initial Glasgow coma score (GCS) of246 patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD).

The correlation between atherosclerosis and serum lipids are well known. This condition has been clearly demonstrated in coronary artery disease but no correlation could be found in CVD. In recent years, many studies were reported that Lp (a) is closely similar to plasminogen and has atherogenic potential.

In this study, we observed that there is no statistically difference between serum Lp (a) levels and GCS at the post-stroke period. We also observed that serum Lp (a) levels are not valuable for predicting the outcome in patients with stroke. [Journal of Turgut Ozal Medical Center 1996;3(2):89-92]
