Abstract:
The correlation between lipids and stroke is complex. The levels of serum total cholesterol can increase the risk of stroke no matter it is too high or too low. Low-density lipoprotein is the risk factor of atherosclerotic stroke, while high-density lipoprotein is its protective factor. Triglyceride is closely associated with ischemic stroke. This article reviews the relationship between lipids and stroke, as well as the role of lipid-modulating therapy in the prevention and treatment of stroke.
