Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and LDL cholesterol are associated with outcomes of minor stroke and TIA

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) levels are thought to be related to recurrent stroke. However, the joint association of circulating LDL and oxLDL levels with the outcomes of acute minor ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) remains unclear. The goal of the study was to evaluate whether LDL and oxLDL have a combined effect on outcomes of acute minor stroke and TIA.
