But few studies have been done in our country to see the association of IHD among ischaemic stroke patients. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of IHD among hospitalized ischaemic stroke patients and to identify their common risk factors. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in 50 ischaemic stroke patients admitted in Medicine Wards of Khulna Medical College Hospital, from July 2012 to December 2012. The patients were taken in both sexes having more than 18 years age and CT-scan evidence of ischaemic stroke by purposive sampling technique. After recruitment of patients IHD was established by ECG findings. Subsequently other risk factors were identified and were recorded. Results: The incidence of stroke for individuals older than 80 years was approximately 30.0% compared with 8.0% for individuals between 31 to 40 years of age. Among them IHD was more common in 51 to 60 years old stroke patients (33.33%) but less common in older than 80 years of age (8.33%). All of those having both ischaemic stroke and IHD were hypertensive. Among them 58.33% cases had severe hypertension but those having only stroke but no IHD 73.68% cases were hypertensive. Among them 34.21% had severe hypertension. Regarding lipid profile those having both ischaemic stroke and IHD 83.33% were dyslipidaemic but of those having only stroke but no IHD 52.63% were dyslipidaemic. This study revealed 41.67% diabetic patients developed both Ischaemic stroke and IHD compared to 31.58% diabetic patients developed only ischaemic stroke. Conclusion: In conclusion IHD and ischaemic stroke patients share similar pathophysiological mechanisms and, consequently, many risk factors. \u0000Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, July 2023; 9(2):98-102","PeriodicalId":16732,"journal":{"name":"Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh","volume":"15 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140732572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to correlate the Friesinger Score of angiographic severity of coronary artery with or without hyperuricaemia among acute coronary syndrome patients. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Cardiology at National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period of December 2011 to November 2012. Patients who were newly diagnosed as acute coronary syndrome during admission undergoing coronary angiography in National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Dhaka during the specified period of time were the study population. Coronary angiography was done within 4 weeks after hospital admission. Study subjects were divided into two groups on the basis of serum uric acid levels. Patients who were newly diagnosed as acute coronary syndrome having normal serum uric acid levels (<7 mg/dl in men &amp; <6 mg/dl in women) were included in group I. Patients who were newly diagnosed as acute coronary syndrome having elevated serum uric acid levels (>7 mg/dl in men &amp; >6mg/dl in women) were included in group II. Results: A total number of 103 patients were recruited for this study who were divided into two groups and 53 patients having normal serum uric acid were considered in group I and 50 patients having hyperuricaemia acid were considered in group II. The mean age of study subjects among group I and group II are 50.45±10.33 years and 52.98±10.559 years respectively. The value of stenosis in Friesinger score in group II (9.30±3.955) was remarkably higher than that of group I (3.77±3.43) and it was statistically highly significant (p=0.001). Here, the vessel score is also markedly higher in group II (2.14±0.83) than that of group-I (0.77±0.75) (p=0.001). The Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) was 0.288 which was significant (p< 0.037). Conclusion: In conclusion it showed that there was a positive linear correlation between Friesinger scores and normal level of serum uric acid.

About 2.7 million people die each year from ischemic stroke. Facilities for reperfusion therapy in hyper-acute state is not widely available in our country. Use of neuro-protective agents like citicoline may be considered as a reasonable adjunct with antiplatelet agents. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of citicoline in treatment of acute ischemic stroke as a neuro-protective agent. Methodology: This was a randomized controlled trial which was conducted in Neurology Unit of National Institute of Neurosciences &amp; Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2017 to December 2017. Acute ischemic stroke patients presented with National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) ≥ 5 were recruited for this study. The study population were divided into 2 groups designated as study and control groups. Control group received standard treatment of acute ischemic stroke whereas study participants were treated with standard stroke medications along with citicoline. Outcome and adverse events were recorded at one week and at twelve weeks of treatment onset. The primary end points of outcome were assessed using NIHSS and mRS at twelve weeks. NIHSS ≤1 and/or mRS ≤2 were considered as good functional outcome. Results: A total number of 109 acute ischemic stroke patients were recruited for this study of which 53 cases in the study group and 56 cases in the control group. More number of patients achieved good functional outcome (mRS ≤2) in citicoline group in comparison to control group, 62.96% and 37.03% in study and control group respectively (p=0.362), though this difference was not statistically significant. There were no significant changes of biochemical parameters, major and minor adverse events between two groups at 1 week and 12 weeks follow up. A significant number of patients died in control group in comparison of study group, 45.45% vs. 23.8% (p=0.0483) within 12-week period. Conclusion: In this study, functional outcome is found better in citicoline group. Survival benefit is observed with citicoline group in comparison to control which is statistically significant.
