Reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels has consistently demonstrated a reduced risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). There is extensive evidence from randomized trials that demonstrates the effectiveness of lipid-lowering agents in reducing ASCVD-related events.

At 10 weeks after the onset of diabetes, control and diabetic rats received cholesterol crystal ME (40-70 μm) injections and were monitored for 16 weeks. Diabetes doubles the risk of VCID but the underlying reasons remain unclear.

Objectives Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) increases the risk of recurrent cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. We examined use of lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) following ischaemic stroke, and estimated benefits from guideline-based up-titration of LLT. and women (coefficient –5.1 to –0.9)

While the epsilon (ε) 4 variants within theAPOEgene have been extensively investigated as a risk factor for dementia and stroke,APOEε4 carriers have not been thoroughly studied as an at-risk population. Our outcome was a composite of stroke, TIA or MI.
