Analysis of correlation risk factors in patients with ischemic stroke

Xin Ren, Sun Ya-sen

Abstract

Objective:To analyze the relationship between serum C-reactive protein(CRP) and carotid artery atherosclerosis in patients with ischemic stroke.Metheds:A total of 119 patients with ischemic stroke were included in is study.Serum level of CRP was measurd within 24 hours after onset of ischemic stroke. All patients were examined with carotid duplex ultrasonography scanning and divided into two groups:MI:normal group(IMT1.2 mm) and M2:abnormal group(IMT≥1.2 mm).Results:The number of patients with elevated CRP levels was increased in the M2 group(P0.05).The patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus in M2 group were significantly higher than those in M1 group(P0.01,P0.05).The mean age of M2 group was significantly older than that of M1 group(P0.01).Conclusion:Elevated CRP levels have a significant index for carotid artery atherosclerosis in patients with ischemic stroke.
