The ratio of triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is an objective approach to predicting poor outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The impact of TG/HDL-C on hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after AIS remains unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the accurate
OBJECTIVE
In Atherothrombosis Intervention in Metabolic Syndrome with low HDL/High Triglycerides: Impact on Global Health Outcomes (AIM-HIGH) trial, addition of extended-release niacin (ERN) to simvastatin in participants with established cardiovascular disease, low high-density lipoprotein
Major lipids making effects on the occurrence of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is well recognized, but their roles on stroke severity remain uncertain. To explore the exact roles of lipids playing on stroke severity and the possible mechanism, we conduct this observational study.Data was collected
OBJECTIVE
A higher fasting triglyceride (TG) concentration has been associated with better functional outcomes after stroke. Recent observational studies have found that nonfasting TG concentrations predict incident stroke better than fasting concentrations. The aim of the study was to investigate
Although statins reduce the risk of non-haemorrhagic strokes and transient ischaemic attacks (TIA), little is known about the efficacy of fibrates. This situation has been partly remedied by the recent publication of two-fibrate based trials--The Veterans Affairs High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
BACKGROUND
Low serum triglyceride (TG) has been suggested as a predictor of mortality after cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between the level of TGs and the outcome after stroke remains to be elucidated. We hypothesized that the influence of TG levels on post-stroke mortality
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays an important role in lipid metabolism by hydrolyzing triglycerides in chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins. An increasing number of studies have suggested an association of LPL gene variants with the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The
A random population sample from two countries of eastern Finland was studied in 1972, measuring eg the serum total cholesterol and triglycerides, blood pressure, and smoking. The participation rate among men aged 30 to 59 was 92%. Men who had had a myocardial infarction, angina or cerebral stroke in
The effect of the triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (TG/HDL-C) on clinical outcomes of acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients is unclear. This study sought to determine whether the TG/HDL-C ratio in AIS patients is associated with worse outcomes at 3
OBJECTIVE
To explore associations between levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and incidence of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes in populations.
METHODS
Baseline investigations on stroke-related risk factors and physical examinations were performed in 10 093 (> 35 years) stroke-free
Although low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the main lipid target for cardiovascular risk reduction, recent studies suggest that other lipid indicies are also associated with vascular events. We hypothesized that the association of triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein
Lipids and lipoproteins were analysed in forty-one survivors of stroke, aged less than 65 years, and the same number of age and sex matched controls without vascular disease. The stroke subjects had no evidence of coronary artery or peripheral vascular disease. High density lipoprotein cholesterol
BACKGROUND
Although long-term predictors of mortality and vascular events after ischemic stroke are well defined, the age-dependent differences in predicting outcomes are unknown, particularly for lipid parameters.
METHODS
We assessed recurrent stroke and other vascular events in patients with
Plasma cholesterol and triglycerides concentration were determined in 32 patients with acute stroke (23 males and 9 females, mean age = 70.5 +/- 10.4 years) within the first 24 hours from the beginning of symptoms, and repeatedly afterwords, until the 22nd day. A progressive decrease of mean
BACKGROUND
Stratification according to risk factors is crucial for secondary prevention after acute ischaemic stroke. Nonfasting triglyceride levels seem to be associated with stroke in the general population. However, the exact role of triglyceride levels for the risk of recurrent stroke is
