Abstract

Cerebrovascular diseases are the third cause of mortality following cardiovascular disease and cancer diseases. Risk factors may play a role by accelerating the formation of atherosclerosis and so Ischemic Cerebrovascular Diseases (ICVD). Early detection of atherosclerosis prone persons is extremely important economical and medical burden of ICVD to health budget of the development countries. In this study, we compared the lipoprotein and apolipoprotein levels in ICVD and control group. In ICVD groups, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) levels were found to be high and statistically significant differences from controls (p < 0.01). Serum apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) levels were found to be lower than controls (p < 0.01).
