Abstract:
The concentration of blood homocystein (Hcy) in 26 patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) was determined preliminarily in Central Hospital in Hue city. 57.69% was the incidence of CVA in male and 42.31% in female patients (in male it was 1.36 fold higher than in female). Hcy concentration increased in 80.77% CVA patient. The rate of increase of blood level of Hcy was 66.67% in brain hemorrhage, 92.86% in brain infarctus. The incidence of CVA enhanced with the age, especially after the age of 55. High blood pressure accounted for 76.92% in CVA. 17/26 (65.38%) was the ratio of tobacco smoler.
