  • Možganskožilne bolezni pri ženskah
    Žvan, Bojana ; Zaletel, Marjan, 1963-
    Interest in and knowledge about the importance of stroke in women are increasing because of the demonstration of a higher mortality, higher disability and higher incidence of dementia in women who ... survive a stroke. Stroke prevention is essentially based on the identification and treatment of risk factors. Knowledge of sex differences might be of interest in improving preventive strategies and the in-hospital management of stroke patients. We analyzed data of 232 stroke patients admitted in our hospital from July to December 2003. In all patients we performed ultrasound investigation of neck arteries, ECG and cholesterol level. In addition we fulfilled questionnaire about risk factors. We found significantly higher rates of alcohol abuse (p=0.048) and cigarette smoking (p=0.016) in men. Atrial fibritlation was found to be significantly higher in women when compared to men (p=0.013). However, rates of lipid plaques (p=0.038) as well as stenosis of internal carotid artery over 70% (p=0.07) were higher in men than in women. It seems that atrial fibrillation is more important cause of stroke in women, while atherothrombosis in men.
