Abstract

Objective: To explore the level of plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and the changes of hemorheology markers, as well as the relationship of them in cerebral infarction and coronary heart disease. Methods: ELISA was used to determine ox - LDL and the hemorheology markers was determined in 20 patients with coronary heart diseases, 30 patients with cerebral infarction and 50 healthy controls. The relationship between them was analysed. Results: The levels of ox-LDL in the patients were much higher than those in healthy controls(P<0.01). As for hemorheology markers, the difference in blood viscosity between the patients and healthy controls was significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: The abnormality of the ox-LDL levels and the hemorheology markers may be linked to cerebral infarction and coronary heart diseases. Determination of ox-LDL levels and hemorheology markers can be helpful to diagnosis and treatment.
