Remnant cholesterol and ischemic stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Atherosclerosis (AS) is one of the pathological bases of ischemic stroke. AS caused by elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels is the main causative factor. However, recent studies have found that the traditional blood lipid indicators can not fully reflect the risk of stroke in high-risk populations. Non-traditional blood lipid parameters are developed from traditional blood lipid parameters, including remnant cholesterol (RC), non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol and a variety of blood lipid ratios, which may play a role in the prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. Among them, RC is increasingly recognized as a biomarker driving the residual risk of AS. It has been confirmed that RC is closely associated with the risk of cerebrovascular disease in the primary and secondary prevention studies of stroke.
