dc.description.abstractTo find out the proportion of different types of strokes among the CVA patients and to examine the correlation between stroke and various risk factors. Patients and Methods: Sixty CVA patients who attended the department of Medicine of TMC & Dr.BRAM Teaching hospital comprised the material for this study. Detailed history, clinical examination especially CNS examination, different biochemical and radiological investigations including CT Scan were performed to establish the diagnosis of CVA and to confirm the type of CVA. Various risk factors then correlated in causation of CVA. Result: Out of 60 CVA patients 42(70%) had ishaemic and 18(30%) had haemorrhagic stroke. Among the 42 ischaemic stroke patients 12 (20%) had lacunar stroke. 38 patients (63.3%) had hypertension, out of which only 4 (15%) had regular follow up showing that hypertension is a definite risk factor. Serum Cholesterol (213.52 ± 32.97) and Serum Triglyceride (176.25 ± 41.97 ) were statistically significant (p<0.01) along with Serum LDL (117.88 ± 27.18) and VLDL (49.11 ± 13.76),t value 5.096 and 5.128 respectively. In this study 14 (23.3%) patients had diabetes mellitus, 31 (51.6%) smokers, 14 (23.3%) alcoholics and 15 (25%) overweight, but none of them could be established as a statistically significant risk factor.en_US
