Atherogenic lipid profile in elderly patients with ischaemic cerebrovascular disease.
The significance of the link between plasma cholesterol concentrations and risk of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) in the elderly is still debated. In a case-control study we found that elderly patients with ischaemic CVD have an atherogenic lipid profile, despite having low or normal total cholesterol concentrations.
