For stroke risk, look for novel lipid/lipoprotein biomarkers
4 COMMENT S - Feb 8, 2012 11:15 EST
Women with triglyceride levels in the highest quartile had a significant 56% increased risk of stroke compared with women in the lowest quartile. Similarly, for women with highest quartile of VLDL particle size and IDL particle number, there was a significant 59% and 46% increased risk of ischemic stroke compared with women in the lowest quartile.

New York, NY - An analysis of postmenopausal women has identified novel lipid and lipoprotein biomarkers associated with the risk of ischemic stroke [1]. Investigators report that baseline triglycerides, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) size, and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) particle number are associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, suggesting new therapeutics targeting these lipid and lipoproteins might confer better risk protection.
