Lipoprotein-associated Phospholipase A2 during the Hyperacute Stage of Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Strokes

Conclusions: Lp-PLA2 mass is higher in ICH compared with ischemic stroke during the hyperacute stage. Lp-PLA2 activity is associated with stroke volume in ICH but not in ischemic stroke. This suggests that Lp-PLA2 mass and activity could provide different information in the hyperacute stage of stroke.
