Plasma l-carnitine and risks of cardiovascular events and recurrent stroke after ischemic stroke: A nested case-control study

CONCLUSIONS: Higher l-carnitine levels were associated with lower risks of cardiovascular events and recurrent stroke after ischemic stroke. Our findings provided evidence supporting plasma l-carnitine as a potential prognostic marker in risk discrimination and stratification in patients with ischemic stroke.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01840072.
