The Relationship between Acute Cerebral Infarction and Carotid Atherosclerosis,Lipoprotein(a)

Objective To study the relationship between acute cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis,lipoprotein(a).Methods 160 cases with acute cerebral infarction were detected of LP(a) and carotid ultrasonography.The results were compared with the control group of 70 cases.Results The integral of carotid artery plaque and the level of LP(a) are higher than that of the control group(P0.001).The LP(a) level in 5 groups of acute cerebral infarction were respectively(15.61±15.47)mg/L,(19.95±7.66) mg/L,(25.98±8.27)mg/L,(44.70±12.55)mg/L,(62.18±13.36)mg/L.It has significant difference to compare each other(P0.05).Conclusion The increase of LP(a) and carotid atherosclerosis mightbe the risk factors of cerebral infarction.And the level of LP(a) has relationship with the degree of carotid atherosclerosis in acute cerebral infarction.It have important clinical significance to treat and prevent cerebral infarction.
