چکیده
INTRODUCTION Nikolai Anichkov first proposed a link between cholesterol and atherosclerosis in 1912 1 . Decades later observational studies have established hyperlipidaemia as an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. It is now proved that hyperlipidaemia is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke. Additional evidences from the prospective studies have shown the relationship between plasma cholesterol levels and risk of stroke. Reduction in the plasma cholesterol is accompanied by significant decrease in the incidence of coronary artery disease and stroke.
