GONZALEZ GARCIA, Sergio et al. Las alteraciones lipídicas en el infarto cerebral. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2002, vol.21, n.3, pp.149-154. ISSN 0864-0300.

A case-control prospective study was conducted in patients and controls to define the main lipid disorders in patients with cerebral infarction and to compare their relation with vascular risk factors. Significantly more elevated values of triglycerides, low density lipoproteins and atherogenic index were observed in patients compared with controls. There were no differences between the two groups as regards total cholesterol and low density lipoproteins. Arterial hypertension as a risk factor was associated with lower values of high density lipoproteins and with more elevated values of low density lipoproteins, triglycerides, very low density lipoproteins and atherogenic index. No relation was found between arterial hypertension and total cholesterol. It was concluded that it was necessary to control lipids in cerebral infarction.
