Association between Hypertriglyceridemia and Lacunar Infarction in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

In acute ischemic stroke with DM, serum TG level was significantly associated with lacunar infarction adjusting for other lipid profiles and vascular risk factors. Further studies are warranted to reveal the pathophysiologic implication of hypertriglyceridemia for lacunar infarction in type 2 DM.
