Heart and blood vessel risk factors after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at heart and blood vessel risk factors (like cholesterol) in people who had a stroke. It may help doctors understand how to better prevent strokes in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with a stroke when you entered the hospital.
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have had a blood test checking your cholesterol (lipid profile) when you were admitted.

This study looks at how a moderate to severe stroke can affect your heart. It aims to understand the link between stroke and heart problems, which may help improve future care.
This study looks at how well cholesterol-lowering treatments work after a recent stroke or mini-stroke. The goal is to see if optimizing cholesterol levels can help prevent future strokes.
This trial compares different LDL cholesterol targets after a small vessel stroke to find the best level for preventing another stroke. If you've had this type of stroke, you may be able to help doctors decide the right treatment goal.
This trial tests whether starting a high dose of a statin (a cholesterol-lowering medicine) soon after a stroke can improve your cholesterol levels. It is for people who have had a stroke or have significant narrowing of arteries in the brain or neck.
This trial studies how to lower “bad” cholesterol (LDL) in people age 75 and older who have already had heart, brain, or leg/blood-vessel problems from blocked arteries. The goal is to see if the approach helps prevent further cardiovascular events (like heart attack or stroke).
This study looks at how blood fats (lipids) interact with platelets to help understand blood clot risk and possible future treatments. It is for people over 40 without known heart or artery disease.
