Low-density-lipoprotein particle size predicts a poor outcome in patients with atherothrombotic stroke

Background and PurposezzLow-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size is considered to be one of the more important cardiovascular risk factors, and small LDL particles are known to have atherogenic potential. The aim of this study was to determine whether LDL particle size is associated with stroke severity and functional outcome in patients with atherothrombotic stroke.
