Abstract
A retrospective study in which 709 patients, 522 with RIND and 187 with TIA, were compared in respect of common risk factors (RFs) for acute cerebro-vascular disease. The two forms of the disease differed significantly in respect of smoking, hematocrit, hypercholesteremia, hypertriglyceridemia and hyperuricacidemia. Although these RFs do not seem to be determinants of or discriminants between the two forms of acute cerebrovascular disease, it is nonetheless highly probable that, together with all the other RFs, they have a facilitatory role. Sono stati confrontati, per i comuni Fattori di Rischio (RF) delle vasculopatie cerebrali acute, 709 soggetti di cui 522 affetti da RIND e 187 affetti da TIA. Il fumo, l'ematocrito, l'ipercolesterolemia, l'ipertrigliceridemia e l'iperuricemia hanno mostrato differenze statisticamente significative nelle due forme di vasculopatie cerebrali ischemiche acute. Anche se i suddetti RF non sembrano poter svolgere un ruolo determinante e/o discriminante tra le due forme cliniche di vasculopatia, è, tuttavia, molto probabile che questi assieme a tutti gli altri RF possano svolgere un ruolo favorevole.This publication has 46 references indexed in Scilit:
