Assessment of Lipoprotein (A) value in cerebrovascular accident cases of Tripura, Northeast India.

Abstract

Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disorders, such as stroke, have been linked to the formation of lipoprotein (A) [Lp(a)], a genetically determined lipoprotein variation. Elevated Lp(a) is a crucial component in the pathogenesis of stroke since it is linked to an increased risk of ischaemic stroke. The study assessed Lp(a) levels in acute stroke patients.
