Scientific Statement on the Long-Term Lipid Management in Patients with Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack in China
The disease burden is substantial among Chinese patients with ischemic stroke(IS)and TIA.High LDL-C level is an independent risk factor for stroke recurrence.It is of clinical significance to assess the reasons resulting in unfavorable LDL-C control in patients,develop further treatment strategies,monitor frequencies to improve the LDL-C target attainment rate.To strengthen the understanding of medical workers on the long-term management and monitoring of IS and TIA,and standardize clinical practice of long-term lipid management,this scientific statement was formulated by clinical experts in cerebrovascular disease organized by the Chinese Stroke Association's Subcommittee on Medical Quality Management and Promotion.The scientific statement,based on evidence-based research,clinical practice,multiple rounds of expert opinion collection,and thorough discussions,elaborated on long-term lipid management,monitoring,and lipid management in high-risk patients in IS and TIA.It aims to provide reference for improving clinical in long-term lipid management for IS and TIA patients.
