title: [Stroke - the role of hyperlipoproteinemia. II. Lipid metabolism in stroke patients].
abstract: In 195 patients with strokes the authors determined in the fourth week of the disease the levels of cholesterol, total lipids, beta-lipoproteins, esterified fatty acids and triglycerides. This study demonstrated that the group of strokes was not homogeneous. Lipid metabolism disturbances were found in 52% of the patients, and in 48% the values of lipids were normal, that is below the critical level. The greatest lipid metabolism changes were observed in 65 patients (33%), and in this group the level of at least one of the determined lipids exceeded greatly the critical value. The authors believe that this group comprised subjects with primary or secondary hyperlipidaemia (according to the criteria of Fredricksen). Analysing the group of strokes as a whole (patients with and without lipid metabolism disturbances) it was demonstrated that the greatest number of patients had raised cholesterol level - 34%, followed by total lipid level - 31%, triglyceride level - 27%, esterified fatty acids - 24%, beta-lipoproteins - 21%.
