BACKGROUND: Lowering of atherogenic lipoproteins, including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), reduces the risk of ischemic stroke. However, concerns have been raised about very low LDL-C levels and a potential increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke. ODYSSEY OUTCOMES compared the PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab with placebo in 18 924 patients with recent acute coronary syndrome and elevated atherogenic lipoproteins, despite intensive statin therapy, targeting LDL-C levels of 25 to 50 mg/dL and avoiding sustained LDL-C
