The Management of LDL Cholesterol and Predictors of Goal Achievement in Stroke Patients in China: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The modifiable predictors including the use of lipid-lowering medication and smoking cessation should be improved in secondary prevention of stroke. PMID: 27297687 [PubMed - in process]
