The Management of LDL Cholesterol and Predictors of Goal Achievement in Stroke Patients in China: A Cross-Sectional Study.
CONCLUSION: Although lipid modulation is recommended as an important intervention for stroke patients in the international guidelines, the goal achievement of LDL-C is still very low in this population in mainland China. The modifiable predictors including the use of lipid-lowering medication and smoking cessation should be improved in secondary prevention of stroke.
