Abstract
It is established that atherosclerotic patients with impaired major ar teries of the head have high concentration of blood lipoprotein (a) fo llowing ischemic disorder of cerebral circulation.

It is suggested that lipoprotein (a) can serve an essential biochemical marker of maj or head arteries atherosclerosis.
