LDL Cholesterol Lowering: Is There a Risk for Dementia and Hemorrhagic Stroke?

American College of Cardiology

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.

Spatial Correlates of Dementia and Disability After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundDementia and disability are highly prevalent after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Previous studies categorizing ICH by large anatomic boundaries have demonstrated that lobar ICH is associated with dementia, while ICH in the basal ganglia is associated with disability. interquartile range, 1.05.8) years and 1.0

The Potential Risks of GLP-1s

CardiacWire

As expected, GLP-1s reduced MI risk by 9%, cardiac arrest by 22%, incident HF by 11%, ischemic stroke by 7%, and hemorrhagic stroke by 14%. GLP-1s also led to an 8% lower risk of dementia and 12% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The less good news? Theres still no free lunch in healthcare.
