There are two types of strokes, ischemic and hemorrhagic. The first step in
ischemic stroke is usually a piece of plaque from inside an artery breaking

plaque is formed from cholesterol, ischemic stroke occurs in people with
high cholesterol, specifically high LDL.

I presume that would be gigh dense, small particle LDL, IOW when tri/hdl
< 3, not large fluffy particle LDL.


In case you didn't notice, I was trying to keep the explanation as simple as possible.
