Abstract
Background: Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, with ischemic stroke being the most prevalent type. Dyslipidemia, particularly elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels, has been identified as a potential risk factor for ischemic stroke, although findings across studies are inconsistent. This study aims to explore the association between Lp(a) levels and lipid profiles in patients with thrombotic stroke.
