LDL Subclasses in Ischemic Stroke: A Risk Factor?

Abstract

Introduction: Seven low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subclasses are identified, and smaller LDL particles are associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular events. However, there is limited data about the relationship between the acute ischemic stroke (AIS) subtypes and LDL subclasses. The aim of our study is to investigate the relationship between AIS subtypes and LDL subclasses.
