Key result
Low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol increase hemorrhagic transformation, but not parenchymal hematoma, in large artery atherothrombosis.
Why the study?
Do low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol increase hemorrhagic transformation in patients with large artery atherothrombosis?
Do low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol increase hemorrhagic transformation in patients with large artery atherothrombosis?
Low LDL-C levels may increase the risk of hemorrhagic transformation in patients with large artery atherothrombosis.
May warrant LDL-C caution in large artery atherothrombosis; leaves open prospective confirmation before practice change.
