Pablo Corral: How Low Should LDL-C Go After Ischemic Stroke?

Pablo Corral, Pharmacology Professor at FASTA University, Past President of Argentine Lipid Society, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article by Victorien Monguillon et al, published in Circulation:

”How Low Should LDL-C Go After Ischemic Stroke?

Not theoretical anymore. Not opinion.

Data:

  • Lower LDL-C, fewer cardiovascular events
  • Lower LDL-C, fewer recurrent strokes
  • Benefit continues below 40 mg/dL

And importantly:

  • No excess hemorrhagic stroke
  • No safety signal
  • Consistent risk reduction

The real question is no longer how low is too low. It is:

Why are we still leaving stroke patients exposed to avoidable LDL risk?

After ischemic stroke: Aggressive LDL lowering is prevention

Title: Efficacy and Safety of Very Low Achieved LDL Cholesterol in Patients With Previous Ischemic Stroke

Authors: Victorien Monguillon, Peter Kelly, Michelle O’Donoghue, Jeong-Gun Park, Erin Bohula, Jeffrey Saver, Dan Atar, Anthony Keech, Peter Sever, Huei Wang, Gabriel Paiva da Silva Lima, Marc Sabatine, Robert Giugliano
