Evaluation of serum lipid profile and cardiac enzyme changes in cerebrovascular accidents.
Serum lipid profile is, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides and serum cardiac enzymes ie, creatinine phosphokinase (CPK), creatinine phosphokinase isoenzyme MB (CPK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) levels were estimated in 50 cases of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) consisting of 26 cases of cerebral haemorrhage and 24 cases of cerebral thrombosis. All analyses were made on day 1 and day 7. Serum cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides levels were significantly higher in CVA patients on day 1. Lipid level fell significantly on day 7 in respect to day 1. On comparing the lipid levels between cerebral haemorrhage and cerebral thrombosis, no significant difference was observed. Cardiac enzymes like CPK and CPK-MB were significantly raised whereas, AST/SGOT and LDH were marginally raised on day 1 in CVA patients. However, there was no change in cardiac enzyme levels between cerebral haemorrhage and cerebral thrombosis patients.
