Prevalence, pattern, and correlates of dyslipidemia in Bangladeshi individuals
Stroke and ischaemic heart disease accounted for the top two causes of death in Bangladesh1. Dyslipidemia is identified as a significant independent modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) that has been strongly connected to the pathophysiology of CVDs2. Dyslipidemia is defined as the presence of abnormal blood concentrations of one or more of the following lipids (fat): total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG)3.

Recommended and Observed Statin Use among U.S. Adults – National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2011-2018
Heart disease and stroke are the first and fifth leading causes of death in the United States.1 A leading risk factor for both conditions, high blood cholesterol levels are positively associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).2-5 The 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Adults (2013 Cholesterol Guideline) eliminated specific LDL-c treatment targets, shifted treatment focus to use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), identified four patient groups most likely to bene...

Lipid levels, apolipoproteins, and risk of incident atrial fibrillation in men: A report from the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study (KIHD)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common of all sustained cardiac arrhythmias, with an estimated 6 –12 million people worldwide suffering from this condition in the US by 2050 and 17.9 million people in Europe by 20601. AF patients are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease, including congestive heart failure and stroke, and total and cardiac mortality2-4. Dyslipidemia [abnormal level of trig lycerides (TG) and/or total cholesterol (TC)] and dyslipoproteinemia [abnormal level of lipoproteins, e.g.

Low LDL-C and risk of hemorrhagic stroke in Chinese adults
It is well-established that higher LDL and total cholesterol are associated with increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), that is, coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic stroke events, and that cholesterol-lowering by statins and other therapies reduce ASCVD risk. However, the picture is less clear for the 10% to 20% of strokes that are hemorrhagic rather than ischemic. A meta-analysis of observational studies shows that lower levels of LDL-C and total cholesterol are associated with higher risk of hemorrhagic strokes (HS), and with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), a subset of HS.
