Plasma choline and betaine and risks of cardiovascular events and recurrent stroke after ischemic stroke

CONCLUSIONS: Plasma choline pathway metabolites, including choline and betaine, were associated with decreased risks of cardiovascular events and recurrent stroke and provided incremental value in risk discrimination and stratification in patients with ischemic stroke. This nested case-control study was based on the China Antihypertensive Trial in Acute Ischemic Stroke, which is registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01840072.PMID:34159355 | DOI:10.1093/ajcn/nqab199
