Abstract :
[en] Whether cholesterol lowering decreases risk of stroke has long remained unclear. Large epidemiological studies have found only weak links between cholesterol levels and stroke. Recent studies with statins, more potent cholesterol lowering agents, have now demonstrated significant reductions of stroke incidence and total mortality when administered for secondary prevention in patients with wide ranges of cholesterol values. It remains unknown if a statin is superior to others for the secondary prevention of stroke.
