Stroke or cerebrovascular disease is the clinical designation for a rapidly developing loss of brain function due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. Peripheral Vascular Disease is another important manifestation of cardiovascular disease with similar risk factors to ischemic stroke. Hence we decided to evaluate the relation of Peripheral Vascular Disease and ischemic stroke. The study was a non-randomized cross sectional study done at tertiary care hospitals over a period of two years 45 ischemic stroke patients admitted and met pre-defined criteria gave informed consent for the study were chosen by convenient sampling .An informed consent was obtained from all ischemic stroke patients . Then the strength of association of Microalbumunria in incidence of acute ischemic stroke and the. Peripheral vascular disease was calculated. Statistical Analysis was done using SPSS software version 23.0. A ‘p’ value less than 0.05(p<0.05) is considered significant. In our study MCA was the most common territory involved with 64% cases followed by PCA in 10 % and ACA IN 8 %. In our study all cases had abnormality on imaging indication that ct scan is 100 % sensitive in detecting the CVA .There was a positive co-relation between the triglycerides and urinary microalbuminuria excretion and occurrence of CVA. As the ABI increased the incidence of acute non hemorrhagic stroke increased but there was a negative correlation of Peripheral Vascular Disease induced and acute ischemic stroke. In our study we had there is a significant association between microalbuminuria and incidence of ischemic stroke there was a negative correlation of Peripheral Vascular Disease induced and acute ischemic stroke.
