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.

Abstract WMP18: The Association between Cerebral Microbleed Patterns and Incident Dementia: The ARIC-Neurocognitive Study

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP18-AWMP18, February 1, 2025. Background:Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are associated with incident dementia, but the impact of specific CMB patterns is unclear. Compared to individuals with no CMBs, presence of any CMBs was associated with an increased risk of dementia (Table 2).
