Assessment of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 level and its changes in the early stages as predictors of delayed cerebral ischemia in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage

摘要

OBJECTIVE The relationship between lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 ( Lp-PLA2) and various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is inconsistent. However, the connection between Lp-PLA2 level and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between the Lp-PLA2 levels in the early stages of aSAH and the occurrence of DCI.
