Abstract

ACCORDING TO THIS STUDY: In patients with prior ischemic stroke, lower achieved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels are associated with a lower risk of recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events without a clear increase in the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. More intensive LDL-C lowering may lead to better cardiovascular outcomes in these patients.
