[Risk factors in stroke].

Risk factors were compared in 300 patients with brain stroke and 120 patients with neurosis or sciatic pains. It was found that arterial hypertension (p = 0.001) and diabetes (p = 0.01) were significantly more frequent in cases of brain stroke. Disturbances of lipid metabolism, tobacco smoking and obesity showed no significant difference. Extracerebral atherosclerosis (p = 0.001) increased the risk of stroke. Coronary arterial disease was most frequent (48.8%), myocardial infarction (8.3%) and calcifications in the aorta (32%) were second and third in frequency. Presence of at least two risk factors may be an indication to prophylactic treatment.

[Risk factors in men with stroke in the Wrocław environment].

The reported investigations were carried out in 3424 men working in large industrial plants of the City of Wrocław and 222 men with strokes treated in the Department of Neurology, Medical Academy in Wrocław. The frequency of such risk factors was determined as obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, smoking, carbohydrate metabolism disturbances. A statistically significant increase was demonstrated in the frequency of hypertension and hyperlipidaemia in the group with strokes as compared with the control group.

[Stroke - the role of hyperlipoproteinemia. I. Lipid metabolism and various arteriosclerosis risk factors in a control group].

On the basis of a study of 218 control subjects in 10-year age groups the authors determined the mean levels and critical values of certain serum lipid components (cholesterol, triglycerides, beta-lipoproteins, esterified fatty acids and total lipids). Forty-two subjects were isolated (11.2%) with hyperlipoproteinaemia. Other atherosclerosis risk factors were determined in them as well. Hypertension was found in 19%, diabetes in 7%, obesity in 14%, smoking in 43%. The authors discuss the criteria qualifying the patients to the control group in the studies on lipid metabolism.

[Stroke - the role of hyperlipoproteinemia. II. Lipid metabolism in stroke patients].

In 195 patients with strokes the authors determined in the fourth week of the disease the levels of cholesterol, total lipids, beta-lipoproteins, esterified fatty acids and triglycerides. This study demonstrated that the group of strokes was not homogeneous. Lipid metabolism disturbances were found in 52% of the patients, and in 48% the values of lipids were normal, that is below the critical level. The greatest lipid metabolism changes were observed in 65 patients (33%), and in this group the level of at least one of the determined lipids exceeded greatly the critical value. The authors believe that this group comprised subjects with primary or secondary hyperlipidaemia (according to the criteria of Fredricksen). Analysing the group of strokes as a whole (patients with and without lipid metabolism disturbances) it was demonstrated that the greatest number of patients had raised cholesterol level - 34%, followed by total lipid level - 31%, triglyceride level - 27%, esterified fatty acids - 24%, beta-lipoproteins - 21%.
