Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background and Objective: Cerebrovascular accident, which has considerable mortality and morbidity, deserves attention towards its prevention. the line of defence in stroke prevention are detecting and adequately treating manageable risk factors. C-reactive protein, an acute phase reactant is an indicator of underlying systemic inflammation and a novel marker is an indicator of underlying systemic inflammation and anovel marker for atherothrombotic disease. present study is an attempt to study the levels of c-reactive protein in acute ischemic stoke Methods: It is a cross sectional study of 50 patients with diagnosis of first ever ischemic stroke (<72 hrs) in Vinayaka mission medical college, karaikal. Patients were examined and investigated as per proforma. Results: In our study 29(58%) patients who had CRP>0.6mg/dl. The mean CRP was 0.7164mg/dl which is statistically significant. Interpretation and Conclusion: Creactive protein appears to be an important risk factor for acute ischemic stroke at levels >0.6mg/dl
