Low Cholesterol Levels Increase Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage Rates After Intravenous Thrombolysis: A Multicenter Cohort Validation Study.

CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the strong association between reduced LDL-C and increased SICH, but not for functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis. LDL-C level of ＜130 mg/dL is supposed to a candidate marker for predicting SICH within 24-36 h. PMID: 30464112 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
