Abstract:
Dyslipidemia is a recognized risk factor for ischemic stroke. As an important component of lipids, lipoprotein(a) (Lp [a] ) was first found within the atherosclerotic plaques which is similar to the lipid body of the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol? Studies have showed that Lp (a) is involved in the formation of atherosclerosis and thrombosis through a variety of mechanisms, and then triggers cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Identifying its relation with ischemic stroke and other risk factors may provide references for early prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke.
