Key result
Hypertriglyceridemia, particularly elevated nonfasting triglycerides, is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, although its role in acute stroke prognosis remains controversial.
Why the study?
Hypertriglyceridemia has drawn less attention than plasma cholesterol in stroke, leaving its role in the development and prognosis of ischemic stroke not fully elucidated.
Does hypertriglyceridemia increase the risk of ischemic stroke and affect its prognosis?
Does hypertriglyceridemia increase the risk of ischemic stroke and affect its prognosis?
Hypertriglyceridemia, especially nonfasting levels, is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke, highlighting the need for its management in stroke prevention, despite a complex relationship with post-stroke prognosis.

May warrant triglyceride assessment in stroke risk evaluation; leaves open whether lowering levels improves ischemic stroke outcomes.
Liang et al. (2022) conducted a review in Ischemic stroke. Hypertriglyceridemia vs. Normal triglyceride levels was evaluated. Hypertriglyceridemia, particularly elevated nonfasting triglycerides, is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, although its role in acute stroke prognosis remains controversial.
