Lipid‐Lowering Therapy Use When Indicated and Subsequent Ischemic Stroke Severity

Journal of the American Heart Association

DECEMBER 19, 2024

BackgroundElevated lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol is a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, including acute ischemic stroke (AIS), due to large and smallvessel disease. Lack of prestroke LLT use was associated with more severe stroke symptoms upon presentation.
