The objective of this research is to determine differences between lipid profile in new ischemic stroke patients with recurrent stroke at Haji General Hospital of North Sumatra Indonesia in 2015-2016.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using total sampling method with a total of 64samples. Secondary data obtained from General hospital Haji Medan. Secondary data collected were data on lipid profile in patients with acute stroke and recurrent stroke by collecting medical records.

LDL levels in acute stroke patients were 109.56 mg/dl and recurrent stroke patients were 123.16 mg/dl. In new ischemic stroke patient, the average value of triglyceride levels was 143 mg/dl and the average value of total cholesterol was 205.8 mg/ dl. In recurrent ischemic stroke patient, the average value of triglyceride levels was 165.2 mg/dl and the mean total cholesterol level was 180.8 mg/dl.
