taking cholesterol drugs are at their ideal levels for preventing stroke and heart disease,” he said.

The study was based on guidelines published in 2001 by the National Cholesterol Education Program. The guidelines were modified in 2004 with even lower ideal cholesterol levels proposed as an option for people at high risk of cardiovascular disease.

The study was supported in part by grants from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. The study information was collected as part of the “Get with the Guidelines” stroke quality improvement program sponsored by the American Heart Association.

The American Academy of Neurology, an association of more than 20,000 neurologists and neuroscience professionals, is dedicated to improving patient care through education and research. A neurologist is a doctor with specialized training in diagnosing, treating and managing disorders of the brain and nervous system such as stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.
