Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels may be associated with cerebrovascular disease and are a relatively common clinical finding in patients with atherosclerosis of the arterial vessels. This condition can lead to cerebral hypoperfusion and increase the risk of ischemic stroke. Additionally, low HDL-C is a manifestation of dyslipidemia and may therefore also result from hyperlipidemia.
