Journal Article
The Interplay of Dyslipidemia, Oxidative Stress, and Clinical Outcomes in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with and without Coronary Artery Disease
2024
Overview
We assessed lipid and lipoprotein profiles, along with oxidative stress (OS) parameters, in patients within the crucial 24 h period following an acute ischemic stroke (AIS), comparing those with and without coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to correlate these measures with clinical condition scales (NIHSS, mRS) post-AIS. This study included 27 AIS patients without CAD (AIS group) and 37 AIS patients with CAD (CAD-AIS group). Using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Lipoprint system), we determined plasma LDL and HDL subfractions. Spectrophotometric methods were used to assess plasma antioxidant capacity, lipoperoxides, homocysteine (HC) levels, paraoxonase1, and catalase activities. We also measured urine isoprostanes and the activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPx) with commercial kits. CAD-AIS patients had notably higher HC levels, while there were no significant differences in lipoprotein subfractions and OS parameters between both groups. In the AIS group, mRS scores showed negative correlations with catalase, GPx activities, and total cholesterol. In the CAD-AIS group, atherogenic lipoproteins (IDLC, LDL2, LDL3–7) exhibited a significant positive correlation with mRS. This study underscores the role of dyslipidemia and OS in the development of AIS and CAD. It emphasizes the complex connections between specific biomarkers and post-stroke clinical outcomes. Our results suggest a significant impact of CAD treatment on lipid profile but not on homocysteine levels. The traditional narrative associating high cholesterol as the ultimate risk factor for cardiovascular diseases needs to be challenged, at least with respect to neurological outcomes. These insights may guide more targeted therapeutic approaches.
