Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is an important modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which are both related to atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. We aim to estimate the association of different combination of levels of LDL and oxLDL with the outcomes of acute minor ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA).
In the Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients With Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events (CHANCE) trial, a subgroup of 3019 patients with elevated baseline oxLDL and LDL levels were analyzed. Patients were divided into four groups according to different combination of LDL and oxLDL levels. The associations of LDL and oxLDL with prognosis of patients using multivariable Cox regression models.
