What Does Hyperlipidemia And Multiple CVA S, Chronic Left MCA Infarct And Chronic Bi-frontal Infarcts Mean?

Hi I have been diagnosed with: hyperlipidemia and multiple CVA s, chronic left MCA infarct, and chronic bi-frontal infarcts and a possible subacute infraction in both frontal lobes. I had a negative immune disorder workup with a hypercoagulable state. Can you please explain what all of this means?

Hello ,
Hyperlidemia means your lipids consisting of cholesterol and triglycerides are on the higher side .
Infarcts in the brain ( frontal is an area ) are strokes , as chronic and subacute are different time frame . It means there is something happening in your body which is predisposition you to have recurring stroke ( maybe silent in your case) .
Lipids are on higher side is a definite risk factor
Treatment for the lipids should be started as well as complete investigation, to find the cause should be done to prevent a future Stoke.
Do send me all the investigation down till now and some history, so I can guide you for the further course of action .
