Association Between Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) Level and Unfavorable Outcomes in Participants of Ischemic Stroke without Diabetes: A Multi-Center Retrospective Study.

CONCLUSIONS Compared to lower LDL-C levels, non-diabetic patients with LDL-C levels in Q3 (2.95-3.54 mmol/L), were less likely to have unfavorable functional outcomes at 6 months after acute ischemic stroke. Managing HDL-C is one of the most important steps for the recovery of acute ischemic stroke. PMID: 31397429 [PubMed - in process]
