Differential influences of LDL cholesterol by prestatin use on functional outcome after intravenous thrombolysis (4981)

https://n.neurology.org/content/96/15_Supplement/4981.abstractObjective: This study aimed to elucidate whether LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) could differentially influence functional outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) depending on prestroke statin use. Background: The role of the lipid profile in functional outcomes following IVT remains controversial, although low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering treatment with statins is well known to reduce the risk of vascular events in ischemic stroke.
