High LDL-cholesterol is linked to heart disease, and statins reduce cardiovascular events. Recent trials show statins also significantly lower stroke incidence, despite earlier data suggesting no lipid-stroke link.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Science
  • Metabolic Disorders
  • Nephrology

Context:

  • Elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol is a known risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD).
  • Lipid-lowering therapies, particularly statins, have proven effective in reducing cardiovascular events.
  • The relationship between lipid levels and stroke incidence has been less clear, despite stroke's atherosclerotic origins.

Purpose:

  • To review the established and emerging roles of cholesterol and triglycerides in cardiovascular and other diseases.
  • To highlight the impact of lipid-lowering interventions on major adverse events.

Summary:

  • Epidemiological and experimental data confirm a strong association between high LDL-cholesterol and CHD.
  • Statin therapy significantly reduces cardiovascular events and, more recently, stroke incidence.
