Relationship between dyslipidemia and carotid plaques in a high‐stroke‐risk population in Shandong Province, China

ConclusionThese findings indicate that TG was an independent risk factor for carotid plaques in high‐risk population for stroke, whereas LDL‐C and TC were not associated with the appearance of carotid plaques independently. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between different dyslipidemia with carotid plaque in high‐stroke‐risk populations in China. Assessing this relationship will not only help to elucidate the pathophysiological association between elevated lipoproteins and carotid intimae aetherogenisis but also to refine the stroke screening and prevention guidelines in China.
