Abstract

Objective: To determine the frequency of dyslipidaemia in acute non-cardio embolic ischemic stroke patients at a tertiary care centre in Rawalpindi.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study

Place and Duration of Study: Neurology Department, Pak Emirates Military Hospital (PEMH), Rawalpindi Pakistan, Jul 2022
to Feb 2023.

Methodology: Patients with acute non-cardio embolic ischemic stroke were included. Data was collected from the patient files and hospital records including a thorough history, physical examination information, CT/MRI brain, fasting lipid profiles
with total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and
triglycerides (TG).

Results: The study included 196 patients, of which dyslipidaemia was seen with a major share of high TG in 44(22.44%),
followed by high LDL cholesterol in 38(19.38%), and high TC was found in 28(14.28%).

Conclusion: More than 1/3rd of patients with acute non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke have dyslipidaemia.
