Optimization of hypolipidemic therapy in patients with ischemic stroke and diabetes mellitus

OBJECTIVES: Evaluation of effectiveness of Mexidol in optimization of hypolipidemic therapy in ischemic stroke and diabetes mellitus patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Authors analyzed the indicators of lipid status: total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, high density lipoproteins, triglycerides and concentration of platelet factor-4, β-tromboglobulin, von Willebrand factor in 68 patients with acute ischemic stroke and diabetes mellitus. Authors investigate the dynamics of these parameters (1(st), 21(st), 3-d and 6(th) month after onset stroke) depending on timing and dose of Mexidol. RESULTS: Long time therapy of Mexidol may optimize of hypolipidemic therapy in ischemic stroke and diabetes mellitus patients.
