Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that elevated of blood pressure (B.P.), diabetes mellitus (D.M.) and the lipid profile as increased Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG), LDL, and decreased HDL are associated with significant cardiovascular risk and are predisposing factors for coronary artery disease and stroke. Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the basic differences between patients with latter acute thrombolic or embolic stroke episode in Greek population, with progress death or improvement during of nursing. Material and Methods: 826 inpatients aged 76±9 (40–100) years with latter acute thrombolic or embolic stroke episodes, 444 females (F) and 382 males (M) were studied during the last three years. Investigated TC, TG, HDL, LDL and Lp(a) and recorded the B.P., and D.M. and results were analyzed in the same laboratory. All patients nursed to our Internal Medicine Clinic and in reference to progress divided between group death (D) and group improvement (I). The proportion of death was 16%. Statistical analysis was performed using a SPSS 11,0. Results: TC 216±58 I - 218±80 D mg/dl (p=0,162), TG 132±72 I - 128±79 D mg/dl (p=0,272), HDL 45±13 I - 47±15 D mg/dl (p=0,946), LDL 141±47 I - 140±45 D mg/dl (p=0,958) and Lp(a) 37±36 I - 29±14 D mg/dl (p=0,256). 61% from all patients had B.P. (52% I - 10% D, p=0,398), 41,6 % had D.M. (34,3% I-7,3% D, p=0,198). Conclusion: The study shows that lipids, hypertension and D.M., in group with improvement patients from latter thromboembolic stroke versus group death have not difference statistically significant.
