Abstract

There is a lot of clinical uncertainty about how to aggressively pursue elevated cholesterol levels in patients following stroke or transient ischaemic attack. This article reviews the evidence linking cholesterol level with stroke and looks at whether treatment with lipid-lowering drugs can be justified.
